Malinowski leads crowded NJ-11 Democratic primary as results roll in

In New Jersey’s 11th District, former Rep. Tom Malinowski leads a crowded Democratic primary to replace Mikie Sherrill, with Analilia Mejia and Brendan Gill also in contention. Early live results show Malinowski ahead, about 59% of expected votes counted and roughly 27,000 ballots remaining. The district leans Democratic, so the winner is favored in the April 16 general election against Republican Joe Hathaway, who is unopposed for his party’s nomination.
