For Jessica Dejesus, deciding who to vote for as the next mayor of New York City came down to the final minutes. The 40-year-old resident of the Mott Haven neighbourhood in the Bronx admittedly had not been following the race closely, but planned to vote for former Governor Andrew Cuomo. She recalled his near-nightly television appearances when he was governor of New York State amid the ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
New Jersey voters are electing their next governor Tuesday in a race that will reveal whether Democrats maintain their grip on a state that has been reliably blue but has shown signs of shifting toward Republicans in recent years. Jack Ciattarelli, a former state legislator endorsed by President Donald Trump, is trying to become New Jersey's first Republican governor since 2018. He faces U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill, a Democrat in her fourth term in Congress who would become the state's second female governor if elected.
After last year's election, when Republicans made significant inroads in the state, New Jersey voters will cast ballots in an off-year, unpredictable gubernatorial race that voters and experts say feels different from any in recent memory. Democrat Mikie Sherrill, a former navy pilot and federal prosecutor who represents New Jersey's 11th congressional District, is facing Republican Jack Ciattarelli, a businessman and former state lawmaker, who is making his third bid for governor, this time with Donald Trump's endorsement.
I have to note that the president even weighed in on this book. Writing on Truth Social quote Number one New York Times best selling author Trey Gowdy has just written a great new novel, an in depth study of justice and grief. And he calls you a political pro and a very good and talented guy. He says get his new book today. What does that feel like to have the president also acknowledge the importance of what's in this book, justice and grief?
