21 OUTLETSOutlets agree that Analilia Mejia won the Democratic primary for New Jersey’s special House election, defeating Tom Malinowski. Left-leaning outlets pair the result with Mejia’s progressive identity and positions on Gaza and abolishing ICE. Center outlets focus on the result and the next special general election. Right-leaning outlets frame the win as evidence of progressive pressure within the Democratic Party and highlight her left-wing profile.
