Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wins reelection to U.S. House in New York's 14th Congressional District
Decision Desk HQ called the race at 9 p.m. ET after projected votes gave Ocasio-Cortez another term in the U.S. House.
- On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, Democrat Rebecca Bennett defeated incumbent Republican Tom Kean Jr. in New Jersey's 7th Congressional District, flipping the swing seat and delivering a crucial pickup for Democrats vying for U.S. House control.
- Kean faced intense scrutiny after a 117-day absence from Congress earlier in 2026, during which he missed more than 100 votes; he later disclosed he had been hospitalized for clinical depression, an extended silence that hampered his campaign visibility.
- Bennett secured a 29,000-vote advantage during early voting and outraised Kean $8.2 million to $5.8 million, while prominent GOP groups withdrew financial support in October as polling showed his vulnerability.
- The victory provides Democrats a key pickup in their House majority bid, confirming the district's status as a perennial swing seat after it changed political parties in each of the last two midterm elections.
- Bennett becomes the first woman since 1980 to represent the district, marking a significant demographic and political shift as Democrats seek gains for the remainder of President Donald Trump's term.
