Polls in New Jersey have closed, and results are beginning to stream in.
This year, four Republicans are scrapping at the chance to challenge Senator Cory Booker in this November's General Election. If successful, it would be the first time a Republican won a Senate race in New Jersey since 1972.
Booker, who has been a Senator in New Jersey for more than 12 years, is once again up for reelection this year. As of now, Booker has no primary opponent, meaning he’s likely guaranteed the Democratic nomination this Primary Election.
