Republicans outright defeated Democrats in the popular vote for elections to the State Assembly in New Jersey earlier this month, in a political development that spells doom for the far-left extremist party’s prospects with white suburban voters in the 2022 elections.
President Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump by 16 percentage points in the 2020 presidential election in New Jersey, a margin that would appear to render the prospect of any GOP victories in the state impossible. The dramatic turnaround indicates that Republicans are within reach of wide-ranging electoral victories in 2022 that could render midterm sweeps seen in 2010 and 1996 diminutive by comparison.
Most prominently, a truck driver who spent $153 on his campaign defeated the Democrat New Jersey Senate President. Edward Durr describes being denied a concealed carry permit as the imperative for his campaign. Republican Jack Ciaramella was within percentage points of defeating Democrat Governor Phil Murphy, only conceding days after election night as additional ballots were counted.
