New Jersey voters on Tuesday night locked in a gubernatorial matchup that will be one of the first big tests of public sentiment toward President Donald Trump, his policies, and Democrats’ path forward.

Rep. Mikie Sherrill enters the Democratic contest for governor with several key advantages, but uncertainty looms.

Voters will head to the polls Tuesday to decide their party's nominees in several key races, including for governor, Assembly and Atlantic City mayor.
