New Jersey Democrats have once again chosen extremism over moderation, as radical activist Analilia Mejia has surged ahead of former Rep. Tom Malinowski in the state's 11th Congressional District Democratic primary - a race so close it's exposing the deep fractures within the imploding Democratic Party.
With 17,647 votes representing 28.8% of the total, Mejia now leads a crowded field of 11 candidates in what political observers are calling a stunning rejection of the Democratic establishment. The progressive activist's victory over Malinowski, who previously held the 7th District seat, represents yet another sign that the Democrat Party continues its death spiral into radical leftist territory.
Social media erupted as the results rolled in Thursday evening. Political analyst @kppotatoes noted on X: "We're waiting for the official results of the special election Democratic primary in New Jersey's 11th Congressional District, where far-left activist Analilia Mejia is leading former Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-NJ), who had been targeted by AIPAC's super PAC in a $2 million ad blitz."
The razor-thin margin had networks scrambling to make sense of the chaos. As @fasttakeoff observed: "NBC refuses to call NJ-11 Democratic primary with Malinowski leading Mejia by just 350 votes at 82% reported—no more votes expected tonight. Margin: 29.0% to 28.3%. Tightest race imaginable."
"NAIL BITER in NJ: Activist Analilia Mejia, ex-Rep. Tom Malinowski leading in special Dem primary," reported journalist Jane Norman on social media.
What does this mean for hardworking New Jersey families? They're about to get another radical leftist who will rubber-stamp the failed policies that have already devastated communities across America. While President Trump works tirelessly to secure our borders and rebuild our economy, Democrats in New Jersey are doubling down on the same extremist agenda that got them crushed in 2024.
This primary battle proves that even after their massive electoral losses, Democrats learned absolutely nothing. They're still pandering to their radical base while abandoning the working-class Americans who built this country. The question now is: will New Jersey voters wise up come November, or will they saddle themselves with another far-left extremist?
