Bennett ousts Kean Jr. in battleground New Jersey House race

Former healthcare executive Rebecca Bennett has defeated two-term Republican incumbent Tom Kean Jr. in New Jersey's 7th Congressional District. Decision Desk HQ projects Bennett won with 60.3 percent of the vote compared to Kean's 38.3 percent, with 76 percent of ballots reported. The victory follows Kean's monthslong absence for depression treatment. Democrats viewed this battleground House race as a key flip opportunity, resulting in the ousting of the GOP representative from his seat.
