US EditionNew Jersey's GOP primary for governor could pivot on Trump, a part-time resident
- The New Jersey governor race, one of only two such races in the nation this year alongside Virginia, is underway, featuring a Republican primary on June 10 and a general election that will be closely watched for national trends.
- New Jersey has long leaned Democratic, but the GOP has made registration gains, reducing the Democrats' advantage from 1 million to 834,000 more voters.
- The GOP field narrowed to four candidates with Ed Durr, a former state senator and vocal Trump supporter who gained attention by unseating Steve Sweeney in 2021, withdrawing from the race.
- Former 2021 GOP nominee Jack Ciattarelli, who lost to Democratic Governor Phil Murphy by roughly three percentage points, and radio host Bill Spadea, have both expressed support for Trump lately, though they have criticized him in the past, while State Senator Jon Bramnick has criticized Trump's pardons related to the January 6th riot.
- Donald Trump's influence looms large in the GOP primary, with his endorsement potentially complicating the general election and the value of his support being a moving target, making it difficult to anticipate its impact on voters.
