Democrats are aiming to unseat Republicans in New Jersey and Iowa, while several key races remain undecided. Major contests are scheduled for November, with significant campaign spending anticipated in competitive districts, despite challenges for the party in power. In New Jersey, Democrats have selected Rebecca Bennett, a former healthcare executive and US Navy veteran, to challenge Republican Congressman Tom Kean Jr., who ran unopposed in a suburban district that narrowly supported Trump in the previous election. This race has gained attention due to Kean's unexplained three-month absence from Congress.
