Malinowski concedes to Mejia in Democratic House special primary in New Jersey

Former congressman Tom Malinowski conceded Tuesday to challenger Analilia Mejia in the closely watched Democratic special election U.S. House primary to fill New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill's vacated congressional seat.

"I congratulate Analilia Mejia on her hard won victory in the NJ-11 special primary. I look forward to supporting her in the April general election," Malinowski said in a statement.

The Associated Press has not yet made a call in the race. Last Thursday, Mejia led by a narrow margin as polls closed in the district. Some mail-in ballots remain to be counted.
