- Polls from May show Democrat Mikie Sherrill leads with 28% support but faces 24% undecided voters, while Republican Jack Ciattarelli holds 44% Republican backing aided by Trump’s campaign support.
- Rep. Josh Gottheimer emphasized that for many Latino voters, immediate concerns such as managing their finances and personal safety take precedence over other issues.
- These primaries will test Democrats' efforts to regain Latino support by focusing on pocketbook issues amid uncertainties about how immigration and economic messaging will influence voter behavior.
