It was crushing defeat in New Jersey, even at the local and county levels, where the governor's race was according to the press, too close to call, during the few days preceding the election. Thankfully, New Jersey stepped up and repudiated Jack Ciattarreli and Donald Trump. Ciattarreli lost his third attempt at reaching the governorship. Even his himetown of Somerville, where he was born, didn't support him. That has to hurt. Kudos to all of the Democrats on the ground that canvassed, and made calls to push back against Ciattarreli and Trump. Even Bridgewater Township, in Somerset County elected 3 new Democratic council members, the first time in 30+ years that a Democrat has been elected to any political office in Bridgewater. New Jersey said NO to Donald Trump and his reign of terror.
