Election Update

The New Jersey Governor's race has been called, and Democrat Philip Murphy has won reelection in a squeaker, about 28,000 out of about 2.5 millions votes cast.

The Democratic areas came in later, and he pulled out a squeaker:

Philip D. Murphy, a New Jersey Democrat whose aggressive approach to controlling the pandemic became a focal point of the bid to unseat him, narrowly held onto the governor’s office in an unexpectedly close election that highlighted stark divisions over mask and vaccine mandates, even in a liberal-leaning state.

With roughly 90 percent of the vote tallied, Mr. Murphy was ahead of his Republican challenger, Jack Ciattarelli, by less than 1 percentage point when The Associated Press called the race just before 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday after a protracted count. The bulk of the outstanding votes were in Democratic strongholds.

This is what happens when you do nothing but attempt to appease President Manchin for 6 months.

In related news, Steve Sweeney, the New Jersey Senate leader since 2010, is down 2000 votes to Ed Durr, a trucker who spend less than $200.00 on his campaign.  (I consider this a good thing, Sweeney is a classic conservative corrupt machine Democrat)
