Democrat Rebecca Bennett Unseats Republican Incumbent in New Jersey
The Associated Press declared Bennett the winner, confirming a Democratic gain in a district represented by Kean as a Republican.
Her victory adds to the Democratic Party’s gains in the midterm elections as it seeks to secure control of the US House of Representatives and strengthen its position in Congress.
The result emerged as ballots continued to be counted in congressional contests across the country, with several races still awaiting final outcomes.
All 435 seats in the House were contested in the midterm elections. A party must secure at least 218 seats to obtain a majority and control the chamber.
Bennett’s win represents another setback for Republicans as Democrats make advances in districts previously held by the party, potentially shifting the balance of power in the House.
