NJ is a deep blue state where Democrats almost always win the governor’s office.
Last “Republican” governor was fat Chris Christie who hates Trump even more than most Democrats.
That’s no real Republican.

C’mon. This same R candidate ran a tighter race against an incumbent governor 4 years ago, but he lost big this time. But it wasn’t just dark blue states. VA had a couple of R incumbents in R++ districts go down, GA also had a couple of R++ incumbents similarly lose. Republicans didn’t turn out. Why? I think part of the reason is Trump has lost the focus on Americans and turned instead to foreign affairs. America first means Americans first.
