New Jersey Democratic gubernatorial candidate Rep. Mikie Sherrill is facing criticisms that she is the "Kamala Harris of New Jersey" as the Garden State enters its final leg of an election cycle that will either flip it red or elect a likely next star for the Democratic Party.
Sherrill is in the midst of a tight race against her Republican opponent, Jack Ciattarelli, whose campaign has slammed Sherrill as similar to former Vice President Kamala Harris for occasional gaffes, claims she shies away from public events and for allegedly running a "choreographed" campaign.
"There’s similarities (between Sherrill and Harris) in that they both are incapable of answering basic questions and seem to have a penchant for putting their foot in their mouth," Chris Russell, a New Jersey GOP consultant who works with the Ciattarelli campaign, told the New York Post earlier in September. They "hide from the press, hide from the public (and are) very, very managed and choreographed."
The Democratic Party is currently seeking out its next big-name stars after Harris failed to rally enough support at the 2024 ballot box to defeat President Donald Trump, leaving the party in a tailspin as it looks for fresh leadership going into the midterms. New Jersey and Virginia are the only states holding gubernatorial elections in 2025, providing Sherrill and Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate, Rep. Abigail Spanberger, the platform to potentially become new Democratic powerhouses if they prove victorious come election day.
Fox News Digital took a look at Sherrill's professional and political background and found a handful of similarities with the former vice president as she looks to keep the Garden State blue.

Behold: Sherill and Spanberger the newest rising stars. What happened to Jazzy? What a chaotic hot tub.
She has nice academic credentials, but she comes off a little like Kamala, dumb and can’t discuss issues coherently.
“occasional gaffes”?
Scott Pressler has been working hard in NJ. He thinks it’s possible to flip NJ red, just like he did with PA.
It was much closer than expected in 2024...it is somewhat trending red. But only somewhat...
That’s not saying much.
they call her Mikie Salad
She CHEATED, so she’s a SHOE IN!
Steaming pile is more like it.
I really hope karma bites her for the cheating issue. Hey, a guy can dream can’t he?
Meanwhile Abigail Spanberger is claiming the title of the “Kamala Harris of Virginia.”
Have their ever been REAL “new DIMocRAT powerhouses”???
Once you remove lying, cheating and other skullduggery, what have these losers got?
“nice academic credentials”
This is why universities are getting such a bad reputation.
They are giving degrees to morons.
So did the illegal alien Walters as Oklahoma state school superintendent.
