The political world is paying close attention to New Jersey and the special election to fill a congressional seat vacated by Governor Mikie Sherrill. 

Republican nominee Joe Hathaway and Democrat Analilia Mejia met this week in their one and only debate before election day on April 16. And the discussion got heated between the two. WNYC New Jersey politics reporter Mike Hayes joins Weekend Edition host David Furst with the latest.

Early in-person voting begins this Monday, April 6.
