Weâve been covering the amazing governorâs race in New Jersey, a race that was never expected to be as close as it is right now
The media wasnât even paying attention to the race. Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy was supposed to walk away with it. Except that didnât exactly happen, Ciattarelli was leading all last night and itâs still not being called today because itâs that close. Itâs seesawed back and forth. You can check out the most recent numbers here.
Even if Murphy ultimately pulls it out, the Democrats will have taken a huge hit in the state because of how well Ciattarelli has done. One of the reasons, again, as with Terry McAuliffe â you had a slimy Democrat who wanted to dictate to people, impose more taxes and restrictions but people werenât having it.
But it wasnât just a move against Murphy and for Ciattarelli happening in the state. There seemed to be a movement against the Democrats in power.
In a completely astonishing victory in what has to be the best race of the night, a truck driver, Edward Durr, who spent just $153.31 on his race for Dunkin Donuts and paper flyers against the 7-term incumbent Democratic State Senate President Steve Sweeney is now leading in the race and he may have knocked him off.
One pundit termed it a âtotal realignment of politics in the state.â
That would certainly have to be the most economical race ever run in addition to the most incredible win. Durr doesnât even have a website.
Here he is â saying we need more real people who understand the bad effects of whatâs going on in the state.
