In the gubernatorial elections in New Jersey, according to initial forecasts, the Democratic candidate Phil Murphy was re-elected. Its lead is wafer-thin.
Trenton – New Jersey’s Governor Phil Murphy is predicted to be the first Democratic incumbent in the state to be re-elected in more than 40 years.
The 64-year-old prevailed in the vote in the northeast of the country with a wafer-thin lead over his Republican challenger Jack Ciattarelli (59), according to predictions from CNN and NBC on Wednesday. The result was surprisingly close. So the Democrats of US President Joe Biden got away with a black eye in the state. According to surveys, Murphy benefited from the high level of competence that was attributed to him in combating the corona pandemic. dpa
