With Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy term-limited, six Democrats and five Republicans are now vying for the state's top job in a race that could shape the future of the Garden State. As of June 1, more than 6.5 million New Jerseyans were registered to vote, setting the stage for a high-stakes election year.

The nation will be watching the Garden State's general election unfold as a bellwether — New Jersey and Virginia are the only states holding elections for governor this year. Pundits are already portraying the two races as referendums on the second Trump administration’s policies and agenda.
