Republican candidate Jack Ciattarelli won the primary in New Jersey and will be the GOP nominee for Governor.
Ciattarelli was endorsed by Donald Trump.
Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill and Republican Jack Ciattarelli have won their parties’ primaries for governor in New Jersey, NBC News projects, setting up one of the most closely watched races of the year.
New Jersey is one of two states with governor’s races this year, and the contest will be an early sign of how voters are responding to President Donald Trump’s second term.
…
Ciattarelli, who had Trump’s endorsement in the primary, defeated four other Republicans for the nomination, casting himself as the Trump ally best positioned to win the Democratic-leaning state in November. Ciattarelli came close in 2021 to defeating Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy, who cannot run for re-election because of term limits.
Ciattarelli said at a debate last month that Trump endorsed him “because he knows I’m the only person that can unify our party. He endorsed me because of the energy I bring to the campaign. He endorsed me because of the money we’re able to raise to deliver a win. He endorsed me because of the coattails. He endorsed me because I’m the only person who can beat the Democrats in November and the goal is to win.”
Ciattarelli came close to winning in 2021.
Ciattarelli told Fox News Digital after meeting with local GOP leaders at Trump National Golf Club-Philadelphia that the president’s endorsement was “a really big deal” and “The president’s doing very, very well in New Jersey.”
Ciattarelli, a former state lawmaker, is making his third bid for governor. He ran unsuccessfully for the GOP nomination in 2017. Four years later, in 2021, Ciattarelli overperformed as the Republican nominee and came close to ousting the Democrat incumbent, Gov. Phil Murphy, losing by just three points.
Major win!
