Incumbent Republican Jeff Van Drew holds a strong position in New Jersey’s 2nd congressional district ahead of the November 2026 general election. The R+5 district, covering much of South Jersey, has supported him by double-digit margins in recent cycles since his party switch. Nonpartisan ratings from Cook, Inside Elections, and Sabato’s Crystal Ball classify the race as Solid or Safe Republican. Van Drew’s primary victory was uncontested, while Democrat Zack Mullock, Cape May mayor, emerged from a June primary but trails significantly in fundraising with roughly $120,000 cash on hand versus Van Drew’s $1.5 million. These structural factors, including incumbency and district partisanship, underpin the current trader consensus favoring a Republican outcome.
