We’ve been covering the amazing governor’s race in New Jersey, a race that was never expected to be as close as it is right now.
The media wasn’t even paying attention to the race. Democratic Governor Phil Murphy was expected to leave with it. Except that didn’t exactly happen, Ciattarelli was leading all last night and it’s still not being called today because it’s that close. It’s seesawed back and forth. The most current numbers can be viewed here.
Even though Murphy does pull it off, Democrats are likely to take a significant hit because Ciattarelli’s work has been so impressive. One of the reasons, again, as with Terry McAuliffe — you had a slimy Democrat who wanted to dictate to people, impose more taxes and restrictions but people weren’t having it.
But it wasn’t just a move against Murphy and for Ciattarelli happening in the state. It seemed like there was a rebellion against Democrats at the top.
A truck driver Edward Durr won the most remarkable race, spending just $153.31 to race against Steve Sweeney, the incumbent Democratic State Senate President. He is currently leading the race, and may even have knocked Sweeney off his feet.
One pundit termed it a “total realignment of politics in the state.”

It would have to be the most economically profitable race, and also the biggest win. Durr doesn’t even have a website.
Here he is — saying we need more real people who understand the bad effects of what’s going on in the state.

In another race for the Egg Harbor Township school board, while candidates don’t run by parties, Nicholas Seppy won a school board seat after graduating from the school that was disrupted last year because of the Wuhan coronavirus.

How’s that for another rebuke?
Democrats and liberal media may not be getting it yet, but these are big messages for the Democratic powers that be — that Americans are going to be pushing back against that power and control. If they don’t get it and start realigning what they are doing and saying, expect more of this in 2022.
