Election Day 2022: Hottest House Races In NJ
Polls are open for the 2022 midterm elections Tuesday, Nov. 8. All 12 of New Jersey's seats in the US House of Representatives are contested, and Republicans are hoping to win back the four seats flipped in the 2018 midterms.

NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo Resigns, Calls His Behavior 'Too Familiar'
Embattled New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced his resignation on Tuesday, telling constituents he was “doing the right thing for you” while claiming that the behavior some women found offensive he intended as "endearing." "In my mind I've never crossed the line with anyone," he said in a televised announcement.
