Democrat Cory Booker wins reelection to U.S. Senate from New Jersey

Booker’s victory extends Democrats’ long Senate winning streak in New Jersey, where Murphy raised just $75,000 against the incumbent’s $35 million.

  • On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, New Jersey voters headed to the polls for the general election, casting ballots in incumbent Democratic U.S. Sen. Cory Booker's re-election bid and 12 U.S. House contests statewide.
  • Booker, the former Newark mayor, seeks his third term after securing $6.8 billion in federal funding for the Hudson Tunnel Project and sponsoring the First Step Act, criminal justice reform legislation now law.
  • In the 1st District, Democrat Donald Norcross seeks a seventh term against Republican Damon Galdo, while Republican incumbent Jeff Van Drew faces Cape May Mayor Zack Mullock in the 2nd District.
  • Elsewhere, the 3rd District features Democrat Herb Conaway and Republican Michael McGuire, while longtime Republican incumbent Chris Smith faces Democrat Rachel Peace in the 4th District along the Jersey coast.
  • Election results remain unofficial until certified by state officials; voters statewide monitored the status of these congressional races throughout the evening following Tuesday's vote.
