Democrat Mikie Sherrill won the New Jersey governor's race, defeating Trump-backed Republican Jack Ciattarelli in a contentious election marked by personal attacks and scandal allegations. Sherrill's victory, supported by key figures like Barack Obama, reflects a broader Democratic success in key 2025 elections across New Jersey, Virginia, and New York City.
