New Jersey is being seen as a swing state as President-elect Donald Trump came closer to winning it than any GOP candidate has in years.
New Jersey appeared to move into swing state territory as former President and current President-elect Donald Trump came closer to winning the state than any Republican candidate has in decades.
Vice President Kamala Harris ended up winning New Jersey with 51.5 percent of the vote, or 2,096,873 votes, while Trump received 46.5 percent of the vote, or 1,893,210 votes, according to the New York Times.
