Ciattarelli, Sherrill confident on Election Day in possible photo finish gubernatorial election
New Jersey's competitive governor race heats up as Mikie Sherrill and Jack Ciattarelli eye victory on Election Day, with both campaigns confident about early voting numbers.
President Trump has loomed over the race for New Jersey governor. The Republican, Jack Ciattarelli, has run for the seat twice before, but this time he has the president’s endorsement. The Democrat, Representative Mikie Sherrill, has made opposition to Mr. Trump a focus of her campaign.
In his first Truth Social post commenting on the election results, Trump suggested that the reasons why Democrats won is because he was not on the ballot and because of the government shutdown. Trump has repeatedly blamed Democrats for the shutdown despite Republicans controlling both chambers of Congress and the White House.
The governors race in New Jersey has tightened in the runup to Election Day, but Democrat Mikie Sherrill still maintains her lead over Republican Jack Ciattarelli.
President Donald Trump’s lackluster approval ratings may have cost Republicans’ chances on Election Day, according to CNN’s data analyst Harry Enten.
