The fact they haven't called NJ is troubling

I remember in 2017 Phil Murphy was declared the winner not soon afterward the polls closed. I still think Murphy is going to win but this will be a nail bitter.

2017 was a different scenario--there was no incumbent, but Guadano was Lt. Governor under Christie, who was historically unpopular by the end.

Now Murphy is the incumbent, and democratic incumbents don't usually fair very well in NJ governor's races. But he should pull this one out. It will be closer than the 16 points he won by in 2017, but I don't think it will be a nail biter.
