Trump, pushing for Ciattarelli, says New Jersey ‘ready to pop out of blue horror show’
June 2, 2025
President Donald Trump implored voters in New Jersey’s primary for governor to vote for Republican Jack Ciattarelli when early in-person voting begins Tuesday and said the state was ready for a change from years of Democratic control. The president announced his endorsement for Ciattarelli last month and held a telephone rally for the candidate Monday. The phone call lasted about 10 minutes, with the president saying that voters will decide whether the state remains a “high-tax, high-crime sanctuary state.” Currently, the state attorney general has directed local law enforcement not to assist federal agents in civil immigration matters.
