New Jersey’s MAGA Enablers, Anti-Abortion Extremists Screwed as Political Winds Shift

The political winds are changing. New national polls show Democrats surging and Republicans are mired in abortion ban headaches of their own making (especially Tom Kean Jr.).

But as the Associated Press noted this morning, “the reemergence of Trump on the national stage” is what is driving much of the change.

Republican congressional candidates in New Jersey haven’t seemed to have gotten the signal. From the NJ.com editorial board:

The candidates in those four swing districts would not respond to direct questions about their party’s persistent narrative about voter fraud that doesn’t exist; or about the lie involving a stolen 2020 election and the violence that erupted from it; or about the resulting investigations of a disgraced president. In the 7th District that is represented by Rep. Tom Malinowski, challenger Tom Kean Jr., who has been actively dodging the media for more than two years, was mute again.

{…}

The bottom line: These New Jersey’s GOP candidates refuse to denounce a president who inspired a brutal mob that put a knife to the throat of our democracy and then called these knuckle-draggers “patriots.”

James Singer, DCCC spokesperson:
“New Jersey Republicans running against abortion rights and on Donald Trump’s election lies are screwed heading into November.”
