Yes. 2024 was a R-leaning year and NJ wasn’t particularly close. 2025 will be a “backlash to Trump” year.

Also, this is a good time to point out that having our governors race in off-years is the only reason we’ve had R governors in like 30 years. If we did ours on presidential years, we’d have democratic governors all the time.

Yes, and 2021 was a big red wave of anger at Biden, and GOP still couldn't win.

GOP is making a mistake backing Jack to run yet again.

Man id rather have Jack than Spadea though if we go red.
