Jersey is this you? If so $153 well spent!



The governor's race in the Garden State is still too close to call, but there's another electoral battle unfolding in America's most highly taxed state that hasn't made too many headlines, but it almost equally as surprising - and illustrative of just how badly the Democrats performed during an off-year election that (per VP Kamala Harris's own words) should serve as a wakeup call to the party amid its leftward shift.

In New Jersey, State Senate President Steve Sweeney, who has led the state's senate since 2010, is locked in a tight race with his GOP challenger, a political newcomer and former truck driver named Edward Durr, who reported spending just $153 on his campaign.

According to the latest numbers from the AP Wednesday morning, Sweeney was holding on to an uncomfortably slim lead over Durr, who describes himself as politically conservative, with 158 of the District's 159 precincts reporting. Sweeney is ahead of Durr by roughly 3K votes in the South Jersey district.
