BREAKING: Mikie Sherrill Projected Winner of New Jersey Governor Election

The results are in, and Mikie Sherrill is projected to win the New Jersey Governor election, defeating Jack Ciattarelli in a surprising upset.

Ciattarelli’s Trump Endorsement Fails to Deliver

Ciattarelli, who was endorsed by President Trump, was expected to win the election by a wide margin, but Sherrill’s message of affordability and economy-focused campaign resonated with voters, leading to her projected victory.

Sherrill Overperforming Expectations

According to NBC News, Sherrill is outperforming expectations in counties that were heavily Republican in the 2021 elections. In Bergen County, she is trailing Cindi Aviram, but in Glochester County, where Republicans were expected to perform well, Sherrill is currently leading by a significant margin.

New York City Election Still Too Close to Call

Meanwhile, in the New York City election, the results are still too close to call, with Hochul and Maud trailing each other. Hochul has made up some ground in the same-day voting, but it remains to be seen if she will be able to catch up.

Celebrations Erupt at Sherrill’s Headquarters

As the results come in, the atmosphere at Sherrill’s headquarters in New Brunswick is electric, with celebrations erupting as she prepares to deliver her victory speech.

Referendum on Donald Trump?

One possible explanation for Sherrill’s victory is the successful referendum on Donald Trump, whom she attached her opponent to throughout the campaign. Could this strategy be the key to the Democratic party’s success in the upcoming mid-term elections?

Only time will tell, but for now, Mikie Sherrill is the projected winner of the New Jersey Governor election, marking a significant upset in the world of politics.
