Biden carried New Jersey by 15.94%, making the state 11.48% more Democratic than the nation as a whole. Per exit polls by the Associated Press, Biden's victory came from a coalition of key Democratic constituencies, including 86% of Blacks, 76% of Asians, 72% of Hispanic and Latino Americans, and 50% of Whites.{{Cite news|date=2020-11-03|title=New Jersey Voter Surveys: How Different Groups Voted|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/11/03/us/elections/ap-polls-new-jersey.html|access-date=2020-11-09|issn=0362-4331}} Biden's strength with Asian Americans was evident in New Jersey, where Asians constituted 10.0% of the population in 2019.{{Cite web|last=Mehta|first=Dhrumil|date=2020-09-18|title=How Asian Americans Are Thinking About The 2020 Election|url=https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-asian-americans-are-thinking-about-the-2020-election/|access-date=2020-11-09|website=FiveThirtyEight|language=en-US}}{{cite web |title=QuickFacts New Jersey |url=https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/NJ |website=United States Census Bureau |access-date=May 21, 2021}}

Primary elections
The primary elections were originally scheduled for June 2, 2020. In April, they were moved to July 7 due to concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic.{{cite news|url=https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/491813-new-jersey-moves-primary-elections-to-july|title=New Jersey moves primary elections to July|work=The Hill|date=April 8, 2020}} On May 15, 2020, Governor Phil Murphy signed an executive order declaring the primary election to become a primarily vote-by-mail election. Democratic and Republican voters will automatically receive a vote-by-mail ballot while unaffiliated and inactive voters will get a vote-by-mail application. Unaffiliated voters must declare their party in the application and send in to their respective county board of elections in order to vote and receive their primary election ballot. A limited number of polling stations in each county were available on primary day for those who prefer to vote in person (including with provisional ballots if they're unable to obtain one) and for voters with disabilities.{{Cite web|url=https://www.nj.com/coronavirus/2020/05/njs-july-7-primary-election-will-be-mostly-vote-by-mail-during-coronavirus-pandemic-murphy-says.html|title = N.J.'s July 7 primary election will be mostly vote-by-mail during coronavirus pandemic, Murphy says|date = May 15, 2020}}

Analysis
As the polls predicted, Joe Biden won New Jersey by a wide margin. Biden ran up huge margins in the state's major cities such as Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Trenton, Atlantic City, Camden, and several others. In addition to carrying all the counties that Clinton won in 2016, Biden flipped Gloucester County, which was a reliably blue county before Trump won it in 2016. Biden also won Morris County, which had never voted Democratic in any presidential race since 1964; Senator Cory Booker concurrently won Morris County in his reelection victory as well. In neighboring Hunterdon County, Biden came within 4.4 points of victory despite the county being a reliably Republican stronghold as well. Biden recorded the highest share of the vote in Sussex and Hunterdon Counties for a Democrat since 1964, the last time either county voted Democratic.
Trump, meanwhile, performed strongly in Ocean County, which is reliably red. He also did well in Sussex and Warren counties, two northern rural counties that have not voted Democratic since 1964. Salem County, which Trump flipped in 2016, remained in his column and he also narrowly held on to Monmouth County, which has not voted Democratic since 2000 but where the margins have always been somewhat close. He also improved in the urban counties of Essex and Hudson, due to noticeable improvements in several of those counties' most populated cities, such as Jersey City and Newark.{{cite web|title = NJ DOS - Division of Elections - 2020 Election Information|url=https://nj.gov/state/elections/election-information-2020.shtml#general}}
Ultimately, Trump carried 255 of New Jersey's 565 municipalities, less than the 307 he carried in 2016, with Biden carrying the other 310. Compared to their 2016 margins, 471 of New Jersey's 565 municipalities swung towards Biden in this election. However, Trump was able to improve significantly upon his 2016 margins in many of New Jersey's most heavily populated cities, which kept the statewide margin within 2% of the 2016 results. For example, in New Jersey's most populated city, Newark, Trump nearly doubled his 2016 share of the vote, going from 6.63% to 12.25% of the vote. This was the best Republican performance in Newark since George W. Bush received 12.8% of the vote in 2004.{{cite web|url=https://nj.gov/state/elections/assets/pdf/election-results/2004/2004-presidential_essex_co_2004.pdf|title=2004 Presidential Election - Essex County}} Other populated cities, such as Paterson and Camden, posted similarly notable shifts towards the GOP, with much of the rest of the state shifting towards the Democrats instead.
