. Candidates for the Governor in New Jersey talk about Zohran Mamdani, nominated for the Democratic Socialist and Democratic Party for the Mayor in New York, and it’s not about cooperation with routes on hubs or NJ transit projects.
Jack Ciattarelli, a republican nominated for New Jersey governor, was attacked by the American representative Miki Sherrill, a democratic governor, for apparent support Mamdani, and other Republicans followed in his footsteps.
But Sherrill says he is lying.
On Thursday, two days after New York Primary, Sherrill, Central Lewy Democrat, he said In NBC he has “many differences from Mamdani”, but the turnout in his mayor’s election showed that voters “want a new vision” and “innovative, thoughtful ideas to provide people.”
Sherrill, who defeated three progressive and two moderate contenders in Primary on June 10, distanced from Mamdani, not condemning Go-Strategy, which is consistent with her efforts to build a long-range coalition in the Democratic Party.

Mamdani officially won the basic win on Tuesday, although he was in the national attention center for over a week after he won the decisive victory on June 24 on former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, his main competitor in the race, which many perceived as a leader.
Asked in an interview with NBC if Mamdani would support in universal elections, Sherrill said:
“If he is a democratic candidate, it sounds as if he were, I assume that I will do it,” she said. “But I didn’t really focus on New York Primary, because I focused on my own basis.”
“If it intends to ensure efficient government costs and reduce costs, it is very interesting for me,” she added.
Politico New Jersey said similarly: “Although I have many disputes with Mr. Mamdani, I share the goal of his voters, which is to make life more affordable.”
Ciattarelli started to X and announced that Sherrill supported Mamdani, whom he called “anti -Semite, and rejected the police extremist”, the accusation that a democratic socialist rejected. Mamdani was an Israeli critic, and also condemned anti -Semitism, calling for a larger fund to fight all kinds of hate crimes.
Ciattarelli, a former member of the Congregation, called Sherrilla to “withdraw her support and immediately apologize to NJ Law-ENFORCENT and Jews.”
Sherrill accused Ciattarelli about a lie about her and said that he would continue to do it “because he is a kind of professional policy who will say everything to go ahead.” She said she was focusing on Garden State when she was talking about New York. Its communication director, Sean Higgins, he said Sherrill “did not support and is clear where he stands.”
While Sherrill never used the word signCiattarelli pointed to her comments on television in which she said “I assume I would do it”, asked about Mamdani’s support in universal elections.
“Where is the lie?” Ciattarelli he asked.
Mamdani was pressed into countless media about his views on Israel, although his campaign was largely focused on price affordability. That he has in common with Sherrill, which also focused on price affordability in his main race.
But the spokesman for the Governor’s Republican Association, Courtney Alexander, said that “absurd” and “disqualifying” for Sherrilla suggested a common plane from Mamdani.
“Failures in New York have always become New Jersey’s problems, and the new embrace of the socialist Zohran Mamdani by Miki Sherrill is a terrifying risk that New Jerseyans cannot afford,” said Alexander.
US representative Tom Kean, a Republican from Union, he said At X it was “disappointing” that Mamdani “deserved support” by Sherrill and the Senator of the Republican State Holly Schepisi from Bergen, she called her to “immediately withdraw her support.”
As part of his strategy to build a enormous tent in the Democratic Party, Sherrill tried to not imagine anyone after his spectrum. Republicans in the state are energetic prospects for reversing the Governor of the Governor Red, which makes it even more vital to her support for both progressive and moderate coalitions.
While Sherrill won a basic five -person in a landslide, a combined voice voice would surpass her. Progress candidates went to attack on Sherrilla during an intra -party race.

The mayor of Newark Ras Barak, who took second place in the original, led ads attacking Sherrilla with arguments similar to those who apply Ciattarelli. And Sherrill could apply support from the Barak coalition, which includes a lot of motivated progressors.
Mamdani and Barak had a public ally show, and Mamdani appeared in an immigration detention in Delaney Hall after the barraka was arrested there in May, and Barak was supported by Mamdani in the mayor’s race in New York.
The mayor of Jersey City, Steve Fulop, another progressive candidate, was a notable Sherrill critic during the basic one, but emphasized the importance of defeating Ciattarelli when he lost the race. He recently defended Mamdani’s proposal regarding public grocery stores.
Carlos Cruz, a republican agent who supports Ciattarelli, he said Sherrill’s answer about the support of Mamdani was a “train wreck” and consisted of a “basic question.”
But Antoinette Miles, director of the family event in New Jersey, said that she thinks it was “wise”, that Sherrill indicated a certain level of support for him, while recognizing their differences.
“Both progressors and moderate looked at the Zohran Mamdani campaign and can agree that the laser focused on price accessibility, and regardless of where you are on the political spectrum, in this way we will be able to build this larger coalition, which must win in November,” said Miles, who supported the barrack in the original and celebrated win in last week.
