Democrats have successfully flipped a seat in New Jersey’s General Assembly in a a deep-red district that has not elected a Democratic legislator in three decades.

Decision Desk HQ projects that Democrat Avi Schnall has won a seat in the assembly, unseating incumbent Republican Assemblyman Ned Thomson. Voters in each New Jersey legislative district choose two assembly members to represent them, so the contest was a four-way race featuring two Democrats and two Republicans.

Schnall was elected alongside incumbent Republican Assemblyman Sean Kean in the 30th district.

    I did not say he supported that stuff, I asked if he had. My sentence ended in a question mark, because it was an honest question.

    If he had called for abortion rights, for instance, then that is calling for abortion rights. It’s publicly supporting that position in the public space.

    Do recall, my original thesis is “we will see how he votes.” I have not expressed any support or opposition to him, merely caution and a wish to observe.
