Summary
Analilia Mejia, a progressive organizer, is leading in a Democratic congressional primary in New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District. Mejia has a slight lead over former Rep. Tom Malinowski, with votes still being counted. The winner will face off against Republican candidate Joe Hathaway in the special election on April 16.

As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
The Democratic National Committee jumped the gun, congratulating Malinowski in an email release, only to have Mejia take the lead later that evening.
The tight contest has drawn national attention, with progressives backing Mejia and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee opposing Malinowski.
Mejia’s social media post featured a famous photo of President Harry Truman holding up a newspaper with the erroneous banner headline: ‘Dewey Defeats Truman.’
This is not the first time Mejia has used this photo in her campaign, and its appearance now serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of election outcomes.
