NBC News projects Republican Chris Christie will win the New Jersey governor’s race [View all]
NBC News projects that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie will win re-election, launching the GOP star to another term in a deep blue state and solidifying his status as a top-tier 2016 presidential candidate.
As polls closed in the Garden State, Christie held a definitive lead over Democrat Barbara Buono. Early exit polls showed that Christie had garnered the support of voters well outside the traditional GOP base, winning a majority of women, about one in five black voters, nearly half of Hispanics, and roughly 30 percent of self-described Democrats. Among the half of New Jersey voters who say they support the Obama-backed health care law, about three in ten selected Christie on their ballot.
