As overnight turned to Wednesday morning, the New Jersey Governor’s race between incumbent Democrat Phil Murphy and Republican challenger, former Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli, remained too close to call.

If Murphy is victorious, he will become the first Democratic governor reelected in New Jersey since 1977.
