贾斯汀·墨菲周二深夜赢得新泽西州共和党联邦参议院初选，将与民主党参议员科里·布克展开大选对决，而该州自1972年以来就未选出过共和党籍联邦参议员。
在计票率达到90%的情况下，前三名候选人的得票差距不大。紧随墨菲之后的是被停职的新泽西州州警理查德·塔伯，以及前新泽西新闻12频道记者亚历克斯·兹丹。医生罗伯特·莱博维茨垫底。
墨菲是来自新泽西州塔伯纳克尔的律师兼美国海军退伍军人，曾担任地方委员会委员，并在2024年竞选共和党参议院提名时以悬殊差距名列第三。此次他再次参选挑战布克，将自己塑造为一名保守派、支持特朗普的草根候选人。

墨菲将面临一场艰难但受到全国关注的竞选，对手布克是知名参议院民主党人，也是特朗普的 frequent 批评者。他在2013年特别选举中首次当选参议员，此次寻求连任且在民主党初选中无对手。尽管共和党希望拿下这一席位，但该党自1972年以来就未在新泽西州赢得过联邦参议院选举。
据《新泽西环球报》报道，自称个体经营者的墨菲曾担任塔伯纳克尔副市长，同时也是美国海军退伍军人。他曾在2024年竞选共和党参议院提名时以大幅差距名列第三，此次再度参选，以保守派候选人身份主打清理该州污染、阻止不断扩张的风力发电场建设、父母权利、医疗自由以及改善老年人医疗保险等议题。

“我将以自信、活力和乐观传递我的保守主义原则。上一次新泽西州选出共和党联邦参议员还是在1972年，我的竞选代表着新泽西州政坛的新时代，”墨菲在其竞选网站上写道。“作为个体经营者，我能理解中产阶级选民的处境。我亲身经历过财务困境、债务和压力。我深知许多小企业主经历过的超长工作时长、数周无薪工作的常态。在华盛顿，小企业主不会有比我更好的盟友。”

本次共和党初选没有明显获得特朗普背书的热门人选。特朗普似乎并未在新泽西州共和党参议院初选中 endorsing 任何候选人。他在周二初选前的新泽西州晚些时候背书对象为众议院共和党人汤姆·基恩 Jr.、杰夫·范·德鲁和克里斯·史密斯。
据新泽西聚焦新闻2026年联邦参议院初选选民指南显示，墨菲获得了两个县的共和党组织支持，并在部分县以“美国保守派共和党人”为竞选口号展开竞选。

大选将考验共和党能否在这个对共和党参议院候选人来说一直难以打开局面的州取得进展。

布克在2020年的连任选举中以超过16个百分点的优势获胜，早期的选情评级普遍将该席位列为11月大选前的“安全民主党席位”。
Booker set to face Navy vet after former local NJ official lost in 2024 Senate race
Cory Booker expected to cruise to victory in the November general as Republicans have not won a US Senate seat in NJ since 1972

Cory Booker on Maine Democrat Graham Platner’s latest controversy
New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker said that he has “concerns” over the latest scandal emerging over Graham Platner, a Maine Democratic candidate for the Senate.

Justin Murphy won New Jersey’s Republican U.S. Senate primary late Tuesday night, setting up a general election fight against Democratic Sen. Cory Booker in a state where Republicans have not won a U.S. Senate race since 1972.
The race was close among the top three candidates with 90% of the votes counted. Murphy was followed by suspended New Jersey State Trooper Richard Tabor, and former News 12 New Jersey reporter Alex Zdan. Physician Robert Lebovics finished last.
Murphy is an attorney and U.S. Navy veteran from Tabernacle, New Jersey, who previously served as a local committeeman and ran unsuccessfully for the GOP Senate nomination in 2024, finishing a distant third. He launched another campaign this cycle to take on Booker, casting himself as a conservative, pro-Trump grassroots candidate.

Murphy faces an uphill but nationally watched race against Booker, a high-profile Senate Democrat and frequent Trump critic who is running unopposed on the Democratic side of the ticket as he seeks another term after first winning the seat in a 2013 special election. While Republicans are hoping to flip the seat, the party has not won a U.S. Senate race in the state since 1972.
Murphy, who describes himself as self-employed, is a former Tabernacle deputy mayor and a U.S. Navy veteran, according to the New Jersey Globe. He previously ran for the GOP Senate nomination in 2024, finishing far back in third, before launching another bid this cycle as a conservative candidate running on cleaning up his state’s pollution, protecting it from ever-expanding windmill construction, parental rights, medical freedom and improving Medicare for seniors.

“I will convey my Conservative principles with confidence, energy, and optimism. The last time New Jersey elected a Republican to the US Senate was 1972; my campaign represents a new day in New Jersey politics,”Murphy states on his campaign website. “Being self-employed, I can identify with middle-class voters. I know firsthand financial struggle, debt, and stress. I know the long hours and countless weeks without a paycheck that many small business owners experience as a normal part of their working adult lives. Small business owners will have no better friend in Washington.”

The GOP primary unfolded without an obvious Trump-backed favorite. Trump does not appear to have endorsed in New Jersey’s Republican Senate primary. His late New Jersey endorsements ahead of Tuesday’s primary went to House Republicans Tom Kean Jr., Jeff Van Drew and Chris Smith.
Murphy received support from two county Republican organizations and ran in some counties under the slogan “American Conservative Republican,” according to NJ Spotlight News’ 2026 U.S. Senate primary voter guide.

The general election will test whether Republicans can make inroads in a state that has remained stubbornly difficult for GOP Senate hopefuls.
