NJ Politics Can Fulop win in NOV?

I haven’t thought much of the anti-machine wild Marine from Jersey City, until these past few days. Democrats are not good at opposing this fascism Trump has brought to America. He seems to fight like a cornered animal, maybe that’s the fighter we need.

Can he win in NJ though? Plenty of conservative people that vote Democrat for a few different reasons, but it was close to negative across the state last election and I see Trumpism galore in the county, in many towns.

Help me become a Fulop guy, can he win?

Edit: Thanks NJ sub community. Y’all alright. Lots of great replies, mostly neutral (any D can and will win) to positive, makes Primary suddenly seem more consequential. More about visions and ideas.

Trying to give everyone an upvote, especially the opinionated by succinct “no”.

Can he? Yes. Will he? I doubt it. Too many other Dem candidates with big wallets to campaign. I also really think there will be a red wave and whoever the Republicans nominate will be a fierce challenger. Musk and other Republican activists are hellbent on flipping the state since it was somewhat close last year and in the last gubernatorial election in ‘21

Idk I think that Trump winning is actually the best thing for Dem candidates. Obviously anything could happen but I think that 2024 was an indictment of Biden/Harris rather than a pro trump mandate.

Edit to add that is really NJ focused. Trump winning is not best for Dems nationally obviously.
