Analilia Mejia will win a special election in New Jersey’s 11th District, CNN’s Decision Desk projects, allowing Democrats to further narrow Republicans’ razor-thin majority in the US House.
Mejia will defeat Republican Joe Hathaway, a member of the Randolph Township council. She will fill the remainder of the term for the seat Mikie Sherrill vacated after being elected New Jersey governor in November.
After winning a crowded primary in February, Mejia was heavily favored in a district where there are about 65,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans, according to the state’s Department of Elections. Mejia united most of the Democratic Party behind her, including former Rep. Tom Malinowski, who ran in the primary and lost after facing a barrage of spending from a group linked to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
I don’t disagree, Johnson has been abusing the power to recess congress throughout his tenure.
I was just noting that he hasn’t crossed the line of not swearing someone in. If he was preventing someone casting votes that should/would be a big deal.
