Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dan Roman. This is an election night, and political experts concur that the path to a Democratic control of the House runs through New Jersey's 7th District. Bruce Kornweiser reports the conclusion of the state's primary has set the table for the November election.
Chapter 2: What are the key developments in New Jersey's 7th District election?
Former Navy helicopter pilot Rebecca Bennett handily won the Democratic Party's nomination, besting three other opponents. The Associated Press called the race within an hour of the polls closing. Bennett will face an embattled and absent incumbent in Tom Kane Jr. come November. Kane has missed more than 100 votes on the House floor over the past three months.
Bennett called Kane a coward for failing to stand up to Trump when his agenda hurt New Jerseyans.

At least 282 cases of Ebola and 42 deaths have been confirmed in the Congo. Neighboring Uganda announced six new Ebola cases on Tuesday, bringing the total number to 15. As Michael Koloke reports, there have been protests in Kenya against a U.S. Ebola facility there.

Meanwhile, in neighboring Kenya, protesters took to the streets of the capital, Nairobi, shouting slogans calling on the country's government not to allow the United States to set up an Ebola quarantine center in the country. Last week, the White House had said that the U.S. was setting up a facility in Kenya where Americans who had been exposed to Ebola would be quarantined.
