GOP Nom Ciattarelli Heats Up With an Live On-Air

NJ Republican gubernatorial nominee Jack Ciattarelli appears to be gaining ground in his race, as strong national voices be a part of him on the stump (properly, in a digital method, at least, in one case). That can be a city corridor via phone, which Ciattarelli held with supporters on Friday–and President Donald Trump was on the road too. Early voting begins Saturday.

During his remarks to the supporters, the president raked the Democrat opponent, Rep. Mikie Sherill, but good over how badly Garden State residents’ high quality of life would fare if she is allowed to grow to be governor: 

“Mikie, as they call her — the only thing she’s got is an unusual name, other than that she’s terrible,” Trump said, according to Politico.

“Mikie Sherrill looks [like] such an innocent name, but her energy policies would send your prices soaring and make New Jersey even more expensive than it already is,” he added later.

The president said if the Democratic lawmaker is elected governor, New Jersey will go in a “death spiral.”

Pres. Trump also praised Ciattarelli, contrasting his conservative power proposals with the liberal plans from Sherill, predicting the Republican will win and promising to “campaign” for him:

“Jack is going to be great and he’s going to cut your energy bills in half, and she’s going to double your energy bills so New Jersey, just on energy bills alone … on energy alone, I think Jack should win,” Trump said, per The Associated Press.

After he returns from his journey to Asia, the president said he’ll “be out campaigning for Jack.”

On Saturday, Ciattarelli told FNC’s Fox & Friends that his marketing campaign has “racked up at least 12” endorsements from Democrats in his state:

My colleague Adam Turner just dropped a new column, with his reading of the tea leaves – a week-and-a-half out from the off-year elections – has hopeful signs about the NJ gubernatorial election for the Republican candidate. Partly, he says, this is because of some wonky numbers favoring the Democrat being folded into the polling average in the home stretch:

The RCP average still has Democrat Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill leading Republican former state legislator Jack Ciattarelli, 48.1 percent to 44 percent. But Sherrill’s numbers are boosted by at least one poor polling outfit that has a bad habit of underestimating the GOP vote. 

Turner adds these other positive signs of a possible upset for Republicans–something that would have implications down-ballot:

Otherwise, Ciattarelli appears to have the BIG MO.  He has been endorsed by practically a dozen distinguished local and state Democrat officers.

…

Labor unions that supported [former Dem Gov. Phil] Murphy before are switching to Ciattarelli.  The Democrats are more and more involved about the turnout in the black group, which in the 2024 races confirmed a willingness to vote Republican.

New Jerseyans are “sick and tired” of the decline brought on by Democrats in the state, says Congressman Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ):

I’ll go away you with one more small signal that the Jersey GOP candidate’s marketing campaign is doing the best issues; placing out a great advert like this for Ciattarelli does not damage one bit.

Oh yes, the voice over is by none other than NJ native son… Kelsey Grammer: 

Kelsey Grammer grew up right here — and like so many New Jerseyans, he is aware of we’ve misplaced our method.

Whenever Republicans can take benefit of bringing some Hollywood star energy.- like has been completed right here, in an trustworthy method, while conveying a conservative message – that’s the best way to win seats we would not win in any other case. Kudos to whomever made that call on his workforce.

This clip from Grammer’s great show “Frasier,” which options the title character’s first telephone call on the air, appears acceptable… Have a great relaxation of your weekend, readers!
