Democrat Cory Booker wins reelection to U.S. Senate from New Jersey

Democratic incumbent Cory Booker won election Tuesday to the U.S. Senate representing New Jersey, defeating Republican Justin Murphy. Booker won a third full term over Murphy, a little-known attorney who emerged from a crowded field in his party’s June primary. New Jersey has not elected a Republican senator since 1972. Booker, the former mayor of Newark and a former presidential candidate, has been an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump. The Associated Press declared Booker the winner at 8:00 p.m. EST.
