Something unusual happened in New Jersey on election night — and it has political observers across the country taking a second look at the numbers.
Republican candidate Jack Ciattarelli, who had been widely seen as competitive in the race for governor, lost to Democratic Representative Mikie Sherrill by a margin that stunned even seasoned analysts: 56% to 43%.
The 13-point gap wasn’t just a loss — it was a landslide that contradicted nearly every pre-election poll and caught both parties off guard.
A Race That Looked Competitive Until It Wasn’t
Heading into Election Day, the mood among Republicans in New Jersey was cautiously optimistic. Ciattarelli, a former state assemblyman who nearly defeated Governor Phil Murphy in 2021, had rebuilt his statewide network and spent months reaching across the aisle. His campaign emphasized fiscal discipline, public safety, and education reform — issues that resonated with many suburban and working-class voters.
