Trump may be first Republican to win NY, NJ in decades after Biden debate debacle, GOP leaders say
NY Post ^ | 06/30/2024 | Carl Campanile

President Biden’s debate debacle has giddy New York and New Jersey GOP leaders believing former President Donald Trump could be the first Republican to win their states in four decades.

Even if carrying the blue states is a longshot, party insiders and independent analysts expect Trump will do strongly enough in the suburbs that he can help Republican House incumbents defend seats they won in 2022 – and maybe even make gains.

“Trump can win New York just like Ronald Reagan did in 1980,” said New York State Republican Party chairman Ed Cox.

A recent Siena College poll had Trump trailing Biden by single digits — 8 percentage points in the Empire State, 47% to 39%. The survey was taken a week before the June 25 debate.

New Jersey is winnable if black turnout for Trump is significantly higher than in 2020 or if black turnout is just low overall.

New Jersey has several firm Trump Counties (Sussex, Warren, Hunterdon, Ocean, Cape May, Salem) and several counties he could also win like Morris, Somerset, Monmouth and Atlantic. Essex, Hudson, Middlesex, Mercer and Camden are lost causes and those are the high population centers so turnout there will make all the difference.

Even if Trump doesn’t win, this whole debacle hurts downticket Democraps and it will get worse as those who defended Biden are exposed as fools and grifters who will say and do anything to retain power.

I’m sure NJ and NY are loaded with Republican voters in blue areas who have avoided voting because it was meaningless. This could spark them into voting since their vote may finally make a difference.

I want the DNC cheat machine to spread itself thin. Every fake ballot they have to use in NY is one less fake ballot they can load on a truck and ship to PA.

The biggest impediment to Trump winning either of these states is that they’ve both experienced a huge out-migration of mostly Republican voters over the last 25+ years.

Maybe Trump doesn’t need to win, if he can force the Rats to spend to defend both states.

Agreed. No way they'll be allowed to lose New York and New Jersey.

But they'll have to spend money to stop it.

GOP leaders need to worry about their ground game and all the leftist “non-profits” working their ground game and fraud, and stay off of social media which fluxes by the hour.

Trump squeezed out Gloucester in 2016 but sleepy Joe took it by 2 in 2020. It would be great if it were in play but with the influx of people working across the river in Philly and it’s close proximity to Camden, make it a bit of a long shot. I hope I am wrong.
