LIVE: New Jersey Primary Election Results 2024
NEW JERSEY - The polls have officially closed after New Jersey Democrats and Republicans cast their ballots for several races in the state’s closed 2024 primary election.
Polling locations across New Jersey were open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. as voters decided on candidates for Democratic and Republican nominations.
As one of the states to hold the last Republican presidential primary contests of 2024, New Jersey was the host of several key races, including the Senate seat currently held by Bob Menendez.
This election also saw the demise of the so-called county line for Democrats, the ballot system in which those with party backing got grouped together and those without it were frequently listed in what was known as "ballot Siberia."
Democratic candidates were grouped together, as is done in every other state. However, Republicans retained the previous systems.
FOX 29 will continue to follow the results for these key races in our area:
New Jersey Presidential Primary Results
President Joe Biden and Trump both won their parties' nominees. Trump’s name appeared uncontested on the ballot Tuesday for the first time since his historic conviction on felony crimes.
New Jersey U.S. Senate Primary Results
U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey announced in March that he wouldn’t run in the Democratic primary as he faces federal corruption charges, but he filed on Monday to run as an independent. His name will not appear on the ballot.
Democratic Rep. Andy Kim won New Jersey’s Senate primary, putting him in a strong position for the general election in the blue-leaning state. He will face wealthy hotel operator Curtis Bashaw, who bested a rival backed by former President Trump in the GOP's primary.
While New Jersey hasn't elected a Republican to the Senate since 1972, the stakes are high in the divided Senate where Democrats have a narrow majority.
