New Jersey state Senate President Steve Sweeney conceded defeat to Republican challenger and truck driver Edward Durr on Wednesday.
Sweeney, a Democrat representing a district in South Jersey, made the announcement more than a week after the Nov. 2 election. He was holding out, despite being projected to lose by media outlets, until final mail-in ballots were counted on Monday.
