In a heated debate for New Jerseys eleventh congressional district, Democrat Analilia Mejia and Republican Joe Hathaway clashed over affordability and foreign policy. Mejia, a labor organizer, accused Hathaway, a councilman, of supporting Trumps policies that hike costs and fuel wars.

Both stressed fighting high living costs, but clashed over homebuyer tax credits and affordable housing mandates. On foreign policy, Hathaway vowed unconditional support for Israel, while Mejia defended criticizing leaders like Netanyahu. The district leans blue but Trump vibes linger, making this special election a potential indicator of bigger shifts come fall.
