“We’re just talking about Donald Trump. Donald Trump. Donald Trump. SHelp in the panel at the end of November, throwing a democratic party for too much focus on not being Trump.
But three months after the second term of Trump for president and two months before the original elections in New Jersey for the governor, talking about Trump is a requirement for six democratic governors’ candidates.
Barrel issued a video campaign advertising This month, it begins with the Trump clip promising to eliminate the Federal Department of Education, in the company of amazing music, before Trump is not afraid of Barak’s more optimistic brand.
This message was one of the most consistent among democrats operating in the competition of the party on June 10 for the highest office in New Jersey.
Micah Rasmussen, director of the Institute of Politics in New Jersey, said that Trump is the best for democratic voters, because his attack of executive orders, appointments, court cases, deportations and tariffs cannot be ignored. Rasmussen and other political experts from New Jersey used the same sentence to describe Trump: “He accepts all oxygen in the room.”
And each of the democratic candidates is aware of this.
“I never dreamed that running for the governor would be so much about Trump and [Elon] Musk – said Steve Sweeney, leader of South Jersey Union and former president of the State Senate running in the basic. “We have problems that we really have to talk about, but it’s hard to talk about it because of the madness in this country.”
AND video Sweeney appearing on the campaign website recalls the name of Trump before his own.
Sean Spiller, president of Njea Teachers Union and former mayor of Montclair, Ma side On the website of the campaign entitled “Protection of our democracy”, which mentions Trump nine times.
And a postal shipment 8.5 by 11 inches has an image of musk, which gives a controversial salute during the inauguration of a Trump spread on one side. The other side says that “stand with Sean against hatred and the extremists of the magician.”
US representative Josh Gottheimer, one of two members of the Congress in the race, said in an interview that New Jersey needs a “aggressive warrior who is not afraid to fight for the families of the shirt.” This is how the American Rep. “Fighter.“
Just like Sweeney He regrets on Trump, he – and voters – know that cuts at federal level can affect the New Jersey budget, an sensitive item in the race This is also focused on making New Jersey more affordable to life.
Sweeney blames the Democrats in Congress for not doing more to fight Trump, the argument that the mayor Jersey City Steven Fulop also tries to discredit Gottheimer and Sherrill.
Fulop argues in an email that democrats from the Congress “will not stop Trump and Musk”, and in video advertising says that they successfully protected the inhabitants of Jersey City from “discrimination of Trump in healthcare, apartment and police.” In this videoThe camera falls on the skyscraper behind Fulop, which indicates this and says that it prevented Trump’s family from obtaining tax breaks to build it.
But both Sherrill and Gottheimer say that they fought Trump on the front line on the capitol and can offer solutions for such a random economy under his administration.
Sherrill said in an interview that she had a record of getting up to Trump as one of the working leaders Close it in 2019 during her first term, and now by 45 Democrats members Quick reaction Task group and court dispute working group Created to repel Trump’s administration. She said that the Task group was working on Amicus briefs, he pressed on Trump to honor the congresses and reaching the corridor to the Republicans, who, according to Sherrill, “break”.
She said that as a governor she would try to build more apartments, introduce solar energy into the network and enhance supervision over health insurance plans to support reduce costs.
Meanwhile Gottheimer advertise legislative efforts This goal is to push Trump tariffs and protect Social insurance. He revealed the plan to “stop Trump and protect our values ​​of Jersey” at Honda of Tenafly at the beginning of this week, which includes ideas, such as the requirement from public utility companies to add an “Trump tariff” cost indicator on accounts. He also created questionnaire that New Jerseyans divide the tariffs on them.
“I’m not a Trump” is not a message “

But democratic political consultants are counting on blaming economic stress in Trump’s administration as the year is passed.
“Every democrat, applying for the governor or not, should henceforth shout until the day of elections about the economic chaos of Trump-Musk and Trump’s tariffs, which are really a tax imposed by Trump of each of the New Jerseyan,” said Joshua Henne, a democratic political consultant who worked on several state races in New Jersey.
He warned, however, that politicians should focus on issues that are relevant to voters and watch out for “bait” – as what he called “crazy statements of Trump.”
Democrats must also balance Trump’s attack on their priorities with caution against material republicans, who can be the framework of universal election attacks, such as immigration and Israel, according to Patricia Campos-Medina, a former progressive candidate for the USA and political activist who is currently an advisor to Sherrill.
“Everyone is trying to survive the main position in which they can withstand an attack from the law in universal elections,” she said.
