New Jersey

New Jersey was the site of the FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina, which drew record viewership in the United States. The match, held in East Rutherford, saw Spain emerge victorious, though it was marred by an on-pitch brawl that FIFA is investigating. The event also saw a protest against US President Donald Trump and FIFA chief Gianni Infantino. Separately, New Jersey became newsworthy due to an announcement by Governor Mikie Sherrill regarding an erroneous noncitizen voter registration, which was quickly amplified by political figures. Additionally, a recall alert was issued for iceberg lettuce products shipped to 27 states, including New Jersey, due to a cyclospora risk, though this recall is not specific to the state itself.
