The boundaries of the district had been redrawn from 2020 determined by the 2020 redistricting cycle. The district was drawn to be more Republican-leaning in order for surrounding districts to become more Democratic-leaning.

On June 7, it was announced that the newly formed Moderate Party would seek to nominate Malinowski as their candidate via electoral fusion, although fusion voting is currently banned in New Jersey.^[137] The next day, the Secretary of State Tahesha Way blocked the nomination, but the Moderate Party filed a lawsuit to challenge this. However, a ruling was not expected until the summer of 2023, preventing them from being on the ballot.^[138][139]
