Trump speaks at tele-rally to boost GOP’s chances in governor’s race in New Jersey
October 24, 2025
President Donald Trump is urging his supporters in New Jersey to vote for Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli. He made these remarks during a telephone rally Friday, before early voting starts on Saturday. During the call and at the White House, Trump emphasized Ciattarelli’s focus on reducing energy costs and praised his knowledge of the energy sector. Trump also encouraged voters with mail ballots to submit them but reiterated his skepticism about mail voting. New Jersey and Virginia are the only states with gubernatorial contests on Nov. 4, seen as indicators for the upcoming midterms. Trump has not announced plans to campaign in person with Ciattarelli.
