Sherrill and Ciattarelli Win New Jersey Governor Primaries in High-Stakes Race
New Jersey’s election could signal political shifts under Trump’s shadow
Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill and Republican Jack Ciattarelli have won their parties’ nominations for New Jersey governor, setting up one of the most closely watched races of 2025. As one of only two states electing a governor this year, the contest will serve as a key indicator of voter sentiment during President Donald Trump’s second term.
Sherrill: Anti-Trump Message and “Ruthless Competence”
Sherrill, a former Navy helicopter pilot and mother of four, campaigned on resisting Trump and promised efficient governance, contrasting what she called Republican "incompetence." She emerged victorious from a crowded Democratic primary, defeating rivals including the mayors of Newark and Jersey City.
Ciattarelli: Trump’s Endorsement and GOP Renewal
Republican Jack Ciattarelli, who narrowly lost to Gov. Phil Murphy in 2021, secured Trump’s backing and positioned himself as the best chance to flip the Democratic-leaning state. In his victory speech, he dismissed Sherrill as "Phil Murphy 2.0" and pitched a more inclusive GOP focused on tax cuts and public safety.
The General Election: A Proxy Battle Between Trump and Democrats
The race is already heating up, with Sherrill tying Ciattarelli to Trump, while the Republican shifts focus to local issues like taxes and education. The outcome could reveal whether traditionally blue New Jersey is open to a conservative shift.
