▸ Why this race

Kean's position represents one of the nation's most competitive districts due to his narrow 1.0% margin of victory in 2024 in a seat Trump carried by only 1 point, with both parties pouring significant resources into this northern New Jersey seat that sits entirely within the ultra-expensive New York City media market, creating extraordinary advertising cost challenges for both campaigns.
