American politician and former diplomat, New Jersey representative (2019–2023)
Democrat Analilia Mejía has won New Jersey's 11th District special election, maintaining Democratic control in a narrowly divided House. Meanwhile, the House has voted 214-213 against a war powers resolution aimed at limiting President Trump's military actions in Iran, reflecting deep partisan divides as the Iran conflict continues with no clear end.
A wave of progressive challengers backed by local figures and anti-AIPAC sentiment has upended traditional Democratic margins in several New York districts, signaling a shift in how Israel and Gaza policy intersect with party strategy.
