New Jersey governor primary election Trump.

U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill has won the Democratic primary in New Jersey’s race for governor. She emerged from a crowded field on the strength of her biography as a Navy pilot and former prosecutor. The vocal critic of President Donald Trump won against five experienced rivals. She becomes the Democrats’ standard-bearer at a time when the state party is looking to win the governorship for a third straight term and the national party is looking for new leadership. She will face the Republican nominee, Jack Ciattarelli, in the November general election. He cruised to victory with the support of Trump.
