Breaking News: Rep. Mikie Sherrill Claims N.J. Governorship in Stunning Democratic Upset Democratic U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill has been declared the winner of Tuesday's New Jersey gubernatorial election, defeating Republican candidate Jack Ciattarelli according to a race call by The Associated Press. Sherrill's victory marks the first time since the 1960s that New Jersey voters have elected a governor from the same party three terms in a row. Sherrill's win is the second major victory for Democrats on Tuesday, following Abigail Spanberger's win in the Virginia race for governor. The election was one of the first major tests of President Trump's appeal in his second term. Sherrill, a former Navy pilot first elected to Congress in 2018, will be New Jersey's next governor. Her victory is a significant upset in a closely-watched election that some polls predicted would be a coin flip. The Associated Press has confirmed Sherrill's win, but the margin of victory is not yet clear. Further details on the election results are expected in the coming hours. This is a developing story, and we will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
