Recent Republican super PAC withdrawals from New Jersey’s 7th district, combined with Rebecca Bennett’s commanding fundraising edge of more than $8 million raised against incumbent Thomas Kean Jr., have driven trader consensus sharply toward the Democratic challenger in this competitive swing seat. Bennett’s substantial cash advantage, consistent polling leads of several points, and endorsements from major outlets have reinforced perceptions of momentum heading into the November 3 general election. Forecasters now rate the race Lean Democratic or Tilt Democratic. Kean retains personal cash reserves and name recognition from his family’s political legacy, yet the absence of national Republican advertising support in the final weeks has limited his path. Late shifts in turnout among suburban voters or unexpected national developments remain the primary scenarios that could narrow the gap.
