I'm not talking about anything, but about the winter season of Budgesport. What? Whatever. All the signs will come from there. The best signs will be offered with a 60% discount.
So we all know by now that Donald Trump and MAGA and the Republican candidates got a rude awakening throughout the country on Tuesday. A blue tsunami swept over the country and nowhere is that more true than in New Jersey with the incredible race with the new governor-elect Mikey Sherrill there. And there was an incredible moment that I think sums it all up in the debate that Governor-elect Sherrill had with the MAGA Republican candidate, Jack Cittarelli. And Cittarelli was asked in the debate, what grade do you give Donald Trump so far? And I'll show you what Cittarelli answers and watch how Governor-elect Sherrill responds. Let's play this clip.
What grade would you give President Trump for a second term?
Right now, I'd certainly give the president an A. I think he's right about everything that he's doing.
I think that tells us all we need to know about who Jack Cittarelli is supporting. I'd give him an F. Right now, we see at every single level, costs are going up on New Jerseyans. So whether it's the tariff costs that are costing you more from everything from a cup of coffee to the groceries you buy for dinner at night to the one big beautiful bill which will raise health care, energy, and housing costs.
And let's be clear, the American people give Donald Trump an F as well. But it wasn't just an anti-Trump race. Governor-elect Sherrill went on the offense talking about a message of affordability, affordability, affordability. Here was her closing message in contrast to Cittarelli just saying he's gonna do whatever Donald Trump wants, including destroying tunnel projects and getting rid of jobs of tens of thousands or even more people from New Jersey. Here's what Governor-elect Sherrill said, let's play.
So this race has been about affordability, and that's because I speak to thousands and thousands of New Jerseyans sometimes a day. And the thing on their minds is cost, both utility costs, housing costs, health care costs, and then how they keep getting worse under this administration with the tariffs, with the one big beautiful bill, with the recent attacks on the Gateway Tunnel.
You know, we're seeing lots of responses from MAGA voters and Trump voters, people who voted for Donald Trump three times, messages like this, listen up, I voted for Trump three times, I'm 100% MAGA, but sadly, this administration doesn't support me anymore. As a guy who voted for Trump three times, I'm fed up.
How did New Jersey’s results signal a wider MAGA collapse?
I'm a Trump supporter. I voted for him three times, but I'm not feeling a single benefit economically. And when you just look at the map as well, the various counties and municipalities in Jersey, take a look, um, some big swings, especially in some of the areas where Donald Trump surprise, surprise was destroying people's livelihood and jobs. In other words, as this one account says, the GOP said goodbye. to the train line suburbs right there. And that flipped significantly towards blue. Hispanic areas dramatically reverted blue to where they were in 2021. In many cases, even more people supporting Governor-elect Mikey Sherrill there. Pretty much all of the counties, dramatic shifts throughout New Jersey.
And just here's what Donald Trump's even saying today. He's obviously not getting the message because today he's going, I solved inflation. There's no inflation. Everybody's doing great. Here's what he says today.
They had the worst inflation in 48 years.
