(NEW JERSEY) – Rep. Andy Kim (D-NJ) beat businessman Curtis Bashaw (R-NJ) to win the New Jersey U.S. Senate seat, AP News projected on Tuesday. 

With 34% of votes counted, Kim led the polls with 55% and Bashaw trailing behind at 42%. Kim also beat two independent candidates – Christina Khalil and Kenneth Kaplan – each receiving fewer than one percent of the vote, AP News reported.

The race drew national attention as an open seat that could help determine the balance of power in the Senate, where Democrats hold a razor-thin effective majority. The seat was vacated by Democratic Sen. Robert Menedez who resigned on Aug. 20 after being convicted of federal bribery charges. New Jersey’s Governor Phil Murphy appointed his former chief of staff, George Helmy, to replace Menedez until the election results were verified.
