Democrat New Jersey State Senate President in Danger of Losing to Republican Truck Driver Who Spent Less Than $200 on Campaign

The Democrat New Jersey State Senate President is in serious danger of losing to Republican truck driver and grandfather Ed Durr — who spent less than $200 on his campaign.

Senate President Steve Sweeney broke records in 2017 for the nation’s most expensive campaign ever in a single legislative district while also wiping out several state records, according to a report from Insider New Jersey.

The New Jersey Globe had originally called the race for Senate President Sweeney, but had to issue a retraction shortly after 1 a.m., explaining “this race call was retracted at 1:11 a.m., after it became clear all three Democrats stood a strong chance of losing.”

“The New Jersey Globe is retracting its call of the 3rd legislative district in favor of Democrats; in a major surprise, all three incumbent Democrats stand a significant chance of losing to their unheralded Republican foes,” the newspaper’s retraction continued. “If Sweeney in particular does indeed lose, it would constitute a political earthquake in the New Jersey legislature. Holding the Senate Presidency since 2010, Sweeney is the longest-serving legislative leader in state history, and seemed to have an iron grip on the 3rd district – until tonight, that is.”

According to his website, Durr is a father of three and grand father to four who was born and raised in New Jersey. He has been a truck driver for the last 25 years.

If even New Jersey revolted, this is a clear repudiation of the Biden presidency.

That just might be the sign of times to come. Lets move more of those doors to NJ and see what Trump is doing there.

I suppose maybe Sweeney could have won if Democrats had any kind of real plan that proposed the right things. Their crap just doesn’t win any more & people are really tired of dishonest elections. If any party wants to win they need to remember that they are there to serve the voters & the general public; not the other way around.

Democrats have acted like astonishing freaks, NAZIs, hatemongers, and are all in on replacing the US population and turning our sovereignty over to the world; and only lost the VA governorship by 2 points. So there’s that.
