Washington Examiner Contributing Writer Joe Concha said recent events in New Jersey’s gubernatorial election could tip the scales and give Republican candidate Jack Ciattarelli the victory this November.
Democratic gubernatorial nominee Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) is facing several campaign setbacks amid reports on her, including failing to explain how she made $7 million in stock trades after getting elected to Congress and being unable to walk at her Naval Academy graduation in 1994. These two controversies have cast uncertainty on her winning New Jersey, which is reliably a Democratic stronghold.
Concha, a New Jersey resident himself, said the election isn’t about how it starts, but how it ends. He said almost all current polls put Ciattarelli and Sherrill in a “dead heat,” including one that was “the most accurate” on the 2024 election.
“So we have a Mikie Sherrill who, this is a business show, still can’t explain how she tripled her worth and made $7 million in stocks, defense stocks, amazingly that she picked just like [former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) husband] Paul Pelosi would, while she was on the Armed Services committee in the House,” Concha said on Fox Business’s Varney & Co.
“So, between that, between the fact that she obviously has a cheating scandal on her hands, she couldn’t even walk with her graduating class at the Naval Academy for some reason, yet she won’t explain or at least release the transcript as far as her disciplinary records. Jack Ciattarelli has all the momentum right now,” Concha said.
