Bennett, Kean battle for NJ-7 seat

New Jerseyans like when we have a say here, and so we're watching to see what happens here in NJ7. As you mentioned, Democrat Rebecca Bennett looking to unseat incumbent congressman Tom Kean Jr., and this could determine who gains control of the House. We'll see. So let's tell you a little bit about these candidates. Of course, you have Rebecca Bennett, who is a former Navy helicopter pilot and test pilot, health care executive, mom of two, and a former Republican. So this is all to say she's not your traditional Democratic candidate. And that might be part of her appeal here in NJ7, when Republicans outnumber Democrats, but independents could decide this election. Bennett has campaigned on affordability, health care, and putting country before party. Her opponent, Tom Kean Jr., comes from one of New Jersey's most prominent political families. The two-term incumbent has touted his work on tax relief and infrastructure, but he's faced criticism over his support for President Trump on key issues. Now, when you look at the last public. public district poll that was conducted in September. So it was, you know, about two months ago. It showed Bennett leading Kean 47 to 42 percent. That's a five point advantage, but it is within the poll's margin of error. The two candidates have raised nearly 15 million dollars combined. Bennett is out raising Kean nearly eight point eight million to his six point one million. Now, back out here live when we look at how voting is going and you look at At this district, Democrats... Feel as if they have built sort of a sizable advantage in early voting. But if you look at the numbers today, it looks as if Republicans were outpacing Democrats in in-person voting.
