Cory Booker will soon have more constituents than Twitter followers

The Democrat mayor of Newark, N.J. is headed to the U.S. Senate to represent nearly 9 million New Jersey residents after beating out Republican Steve Lonegan in a special election Wednesday. Despite gains by Lonegan in the polls leading up to the election, Booker is beating Lonegan 55% to 44%, with nearly all precincts reporting, according to the Associated Press. The AP has projected that Booker will win the election

Thank you so much, New Jersey. I'm proud to be your senator-elect: https://t.co/vs9ew7iOkd
