Newsmax partner Decision Desk HQ had Murphy overtaking Ciattarelli by a mere handful of votes around and estimated 87% of vote having been reported. Murphy’s lead has slowly widened with more than an estimated 90% of the vote reported.

There is some drama underlying the reporting of votes, according to Newsmax host Shaun Kraisman and Decision Desk HQ.

“The Murphy campaign expects to pull it out given where some outstanding ballots and [mail-in ballots] are,” Republican political strategist Mike DuHaime wrote in an email to the Washington Examiner. “Jack’s campaign still think there’s a path.”
