Rebecca Bennett defeated two-term Republican Rep. Tom Kean Jr. in New Jersey's 7th Congressional District, CBS News reported. The outlet said the result ended the House tenure of a Republican who had served two terms.

CBS News also reported that Kean's defeat came after his monthslong absence for depression treatment.

A report from The Hill, written by Jared Gans, described the contest as a battleground New Jersey House race. According to that report, Decision Desk HQ projects that Bennett will defeat Kean, a result that capitalized on what many Democrats viewed as a "key flip opportunity."

The Hill identified Bennett as a former healthcare executive. Its report said Bennett led Kean 60.3 percent to 38.3 percent, with 76 percent of the vote reported.

The two outlets differed in how firmly they stated the outcome. The Hill's account rests on a Decision Desk HQ projection that Bennett will win, while CBS News reported that Bennett defeated Kean. The figures cited by The Hill reflect the 76 percent of the vote that had been reported.

Both reports identified Kean as a Republican and placed the race in New Jersey's 7th Congressional District.
