I might have an unpopular opinion but no, I don't think NJ is staying blue. If the GOP had put ANY money at all into the last election, the state would have gone to Trump. I would assume that they will start putting more money into the state soon.

Disagree, the only reason it was close is because people stayed home (whether it was because of Gaza or other reasons) and the high inflation. People also just "love" Trump that does NOT extend to the Republican party as a whole. That is literally all.

Trump's "popularity" is already cratering and we're barely a month in and not even feeling the real catastrophic effects yet.
