New Jersey voters are electing their next governor Tuesday in a race that will reveal whether Democrats maintain their grip on a state that has been reliably blue but has shown signs of shifting toward Republicans in recent years. Jack Ciattarelli, a former state legislator endorsed by President Donald Trump, is trying to become New Jersey's first Republican governor since 2018. He faces U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill, a Democrat in her fourth term in Congress who would become the state's second female governor if elected.

President Donald Trump declared on Wednesday evening that he would "terminate" federal funding for the Gateway Project, which aims to build the first new set of Hudson River train tunnels in over a century. If he gets his way, he'll leave a new mark on the region in the form of a pair of unfinished holes on either side of the river - one in North Bergen, another on Manhattan's West Side - along with three other active construction sites that would be abandoned.
