TL;DR

Democrat Rebecca Bennett, a former Navy helicopter pilot, won New Jersey’s 7th District primary and will face two-term Republican Tom Kean Jr. in November in the state’s most competitive House race; Kean’s months-long absence due to a medical issue has drawn national attention and a Trump endorsement, while Bennett runs a more moderate campaign amid GOP concerns and a DHS detention facility controversy in the district.
