NJ-11 Dem Primary: Mejia edges Malinowski by slim margin as late ballots loom
TL;DR
Analilia Mejia and Tom Malinowski are in a razor-thin Democratic primary race in New Jersey’s 11th District, with Mejia leading by about 486 votes (28.8% to 28.0%) as roughly 91% of ballots are tallied; a prior call that Malinowski would win was retracted, and late-counted ballots could still tilt the outcome. Tahesha Way and Brendan Gill trail, while outside spending—most notably $2.3 million from AIPAC against Malinowski—helped shape the closings, though Mejia’s progressive surge complicates the race.
