Results of the general election by municipality, darker colors indicate higher win percentage:
-Blue municipalities won by Booker
-Red municipalities won by Metha
-Purple municipality (Teterboro only) Booker and Metha tied
The election was not close, with Booker winning re-election by 16.31%. Key to Booker's landslide victory was heavily populated areas such as Hackensack, Newark, and Trenton. Booker also narrowly won Morris County, which no Democratic Senator had ever carried since 1984 when Senator Bill Bradley swept every county. Mehta did well in Ocean County, which is a Republican stronghold, as well as many rural areas of the state. Booker made history as the highest vote earner in a statewide non-presidential election in New Jersey. Booker received 2,541,178 votes. Booker was sworn in for a second term on January 3, 2021. His term will expire on January 3, 2027.
