Adam Hamawy, a doctor and military veteran, won the Democratic primary in New Jersey's 12th Congressional District, according to Decision Desk HQ projections. Hamawy secured the nomination with 28.1 percent of the vote in the race to replace the incumbent.

The 12th Congressional District covers a substantial portion of central New Jersey, spanning from Trenton to Plainfield. The seat represents a diverse area that includes both urban and suburban communities in the central part of the state.

Hamawy's background includes service as a plastic surgeon and military experience. According to Fox News reporting, he previously provided testimony related to a cleric who was later convicted in connection with the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, though the specific nature and context of this testimony was not detailed in available reports.

The primary victory positions Hamawy as the Democratic nominee for the general election in November. The 12th District has historically been considered a Democratic-leaning seat in New Jersey's congressional delegation.

Hamawy's campaign focused on his medical and military background as qualifications for representing the district's diverse constituencies. The general election will determine who will serve as the district's representative in the next Congress.
