The New Jersey gubernatorial race is proving to be a closely watched contest, with Republican candidate Jack Ciattarelli and Democrat Mikie Sherrill engaged in a heated battle. Recent polls show Sherrill holding a slight lead over Ciattarelli, with varying margins across different surveys. Trump has jumped into the fray, actively campaigning for Ciattarelli, branding Sherrill as ‘fake and corrupt’ and encouraging NJ voters to support his candidate. Concerns about Black voter turnout have emerged for Democrats, as both parties strategize to secure a win in this blue-leaning state. The outcome of this race could have significant national implications, and with both candidates emphasizing key issues, the anticipation grows for a potentially photo-finish election.
