Trump supporters less inclined to vote in an off-year election are key to Republican Jack Ciattarelli’s path to victory in the New Jersey governor’s race.
Republican Jack Ciattarelli spent part of a recent rally in Wildwood, New Jersey, tossing bright red “Make NJ Great Again” hats to supporters in the crowd.
To become the state’s next governor, Ciattarelli needs voters who have long donned “Make America Great Again” hats to head to the polls in three weeks, too.
The New Jersey race is one of the first major tests of President Donald Trump’s second term for Republicans looking to turn out Trump voters when he is not on the ballot. New Jersey and Virginia are the only two states with governor’s races this year, and Ciattarelli is the only candidate for governor with Trump’s endorsement.
Republicans have struggled to turn out the president’s supporters in off-year and midterm elections, including in a number of special elections so far in 2025. And these voters could be key to Ciattarelli’s path to victory.
“They’re extremely important,” said New Jersey GOP strategist Mike DuHaime, a former Republican National Committee political director. He noted Trump won around 700,000 more votes in 2024 than Ciattarelli when he lost to Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy by 3 points in 2021.
”If you can turn out 100,000 of those, that could be the difference,” DuHaime, said later adding, “It’s a very big, important opportunity.”
“They’re certainly a big part of our calculus,” Ciattarelli campaign strategist Chris Russell said of Trump voters.
Appealing to Trump voters could risk alienating the decisive independent voters in New Jersey, whom Trump still lost by 6 points in 2024, despite making significant gains compared to the 2020 election. But it’s a risk Republicans seem willing to take.
“If your No. 1 issue is...”

I hope so because this is not all about Trump and the fate of our country should not hang on ONE man.
I want to hope that the whole attitude of the country is changing for the conservative.
We need to keep praying that God would work at the state level this year what He did at the federal level last year.
There are some significant races to be decided.
Go Scott Pressler Go!!!
It would also help of more republicans showed the level of testosterone that President Trump does.
Too many RINOs, who IMO are actually democrat operatives who ran on the Republican ticket because that’s the only way they knew they could win. And they betrayed their electorate.
Cigarillo-Italian. Think mafia. Trump got along with them. How do I know? He’s alive ok?
They’ll give him their vote.
Trump is always on the ballot. You help him, or you help the Rats
“Trump is always on the ballot.”
This is very true — for Democrat voters. It certainly worked that way the last time Trump was “on the ballot” when he actually wasn’t (2017, 2018)
Trump-related motivation (or SOME major motivation) had better exist for Republican voters in NJ & VA on November 4th, because without that factor it will be a very “blue” night.
It looks like that violent racist feral Democrat running for Attorney General in VA may lose, but that’s likely to be the only bright spot as things stand now. Sure, the other races should be close, but.... which party is far more likely to win a close race in VA or NJ, Republicans or Democrats? We all know the answer.
Past results say no. Hopefully that changes starting in November and continues through 2028. It’s been dismal without Trump on the ticket.
Sad but likely true.
Trump may only be a reprieve.
