Bennett secures Dem nomination to face Kean Jr. in tight New Jersey swing district
TL;DR Summary
Democrat Rebecca Bennett won the New Jersey 7th Congressional District primary, setting up a general election showdown with Republican Rep. Tom Kean Jr. Bennett, a former Navy helicopter pilot and healthcare executive, defeated Tina Shah and other contenders. Kean has been briefly absent for a personal medical issue but intends to resume his campaign. Bennett argues the district, narrowly won by Trump in 2024, can be flipped with a message that appeals to independents and center-right voters, while a pro-Bennett ad campaign and GOP competition shape a closely watched race.
