None of the votes in the election have been counted yet, as the polls do not close until 8 p.m.
Murphy used to work as a Goldman Sachs executive and served as an ambassador during the Obama administration. He has been the favored winner by both sides throughout the race, mainly due to former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s low approval rating hurting the Republican candidate.
