Shutdown Chaos: Democrats Block Bill To Pay Troops And Essential Workers!

The New Jersey gubernatorial race is in its closing days, and Republican activist Scott Presler is optimistic that the state could go red. Republican Jack Ciattarelli is running against Democratic Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill in the race to succeed outgoing Democratic Governor Phil Murphy. Presler, who rose to national attention for his efforts to flip Pennsylvania for President Donald Trump in 2024, is deploying a “21-county strategy,” trying to boost turnout in heavily-Republican districts and Democrat strongholds alike. “This is an economic election,” Presler told The Daily Wire. “The voters of New Jersey are being crushed by property taxes. They’re being crushed by electricity taxes.” Presler noted that, while much of this cycle’s focus has been on the Virginia gubernatorial election and New York City mayoral race, New Jersey has come into focus in the waning days of the campaign as Americans realize a Republican may take the governor’s mansion. “Democrats are finally realizing Jack is poised to become the next governor,” Presler said. “I think the thing that is different as well is the national attention New Jersey is getting that it really wasn’t getting months ago when were were banging on every door and shouting to people, New Jersey is 100% in play.” “I think other people are really starting to pick up on that and realize Jack has a real shot at winning this November, so there’s a lot more national attention than there was.” A recent poll shows Sherrill is up by just one point, and it’s considered a statistical tie, Newsweek reported.

In 2021, Murphy won re-election with just over 51% of the vote. Ciattarelli won 48% of the vote that year. Presler has high hopes for Ciattarelli. But he’s already looking at the next race — and thinks New Jersey could be the start of a nationwide trend. “I am looking at this race really in a nationwide kind of scale,” he said. “When we flip the New Jersey governorship from blue to red, it’s going to give other blue states permission to elect Republican governors.” Presler mentioned Oregon, where former Republican gubernatorial nominee Christine Drazan just announced a new bid for the state’s top job. But that’s not all. “I’m looking at Oregon. I’m looking at Washington State. I’m looking at New Mexico,” Presler said. “Even New England.”

Americans support stringent public safety measures when it comes to violent crime and homelessness, according to a new poll first shared with The Daily Wire. The Cicero Institute’s annual National Public Safety Poll found that 75% of Americans believe violent crime is either going up or staying the same, with only 18% of those surveyed believing it’s going down. Meanwhile, 61% said they would back court mandates for “treatment and stabilization” of repeat offenders with a “history of mental illness.”  In addition, 64% of those surveyed said they want it to be easier for people to be entered into mental health facilities if they have “violent tendencies.” “Americans have made their voices heard. They want safe streets for their families, accountable solutions for homelessness, and serious repercussions when our justice system fails,” Stefani Buhajla, Senior Director of Communications for the Cicero Institute, said in a statement. The new polling data comes amid a nationwide discussion about how to tackle crime in light of President Donald Trump ordering National Guard troops and federal law enforcement agencies into Washington, D.C., and other cities throughout the United States, like Memphis. The Wall Street Journal reported that the surge in Memphis has been considered a positive move by “many” residents, despite major pushback in other cities where the policy has been floated.

For those with mental illness who are facing a conviction for “aggravated murder,” 46% said life in prison should be considered, 18% said the death penalty, and 18% said both should be weighed as options, compared with 17% who said neither should be a consequence. “Voters have lost patience with activist leniency that endangers communities. They rightly want violent individuals removed from the streets and overwhelmingly support removing incompetent judges who repeatedly let them off with a slap on the wrist,” she continued. Other noteworthy numbers from the poll were 60% saying that federal investigations should occur if states have a history of releasing “repeat violent criminals.” And 63% said a judge should be booted from their job if they are “too lenient” on violent offenders. The poll also revealed heavy support for better tracking of sex offenders and mandating treatment or job programs in order to get “taxpayer-funded housing.” The poll surveyed 2,102 likely voters, and results were weighted based on demographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey Voting and Registration Supplement and the state election authorities.

New Jersey GOP gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli is picking up a huge number of endorsements from elected Democrats in the state, as his hotly contested election against Democrat Rep. Mikie Sherrill nears Election Day. At least a dozen Democratic mayors are now backing Ciattarelli for governor over Sherrill. The mayors include North Bergen’s Nick Sacco, Dover Mayor Jim Dodd, Garfield Mayor Everett Garnto Jr., and Branchville Mayor Anthony Frato. The huge mayoral backing comes in addition to other elected Democrats endorsing Ciattarelli, too. North Bergen Commissioner Allen Pascual, a Democrat, for example, has endorsed Ciattarelli, as have Democrat Branchville Councilman Jeff Lewis and former Hudson County Democratic Organization Chair Anthony Vainieri. “When Democratic mayors are endorsing the Republican nominee, it tells you how badly people want change,” Ciattarelli told Fox News over the weekend. “We’ve racked up at least 12 Democratic mayors who have endorsed me.” As noted by Fox News’ Kayleigh McEnany, Sherrill has received the backing of far-left New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, a radical self-described democratic socialist who’s been criticized for embracing communist policies and rhetoric. Sherrill has tried her best to distance herself from Mamdani’s endorsement.

One poll found Sherrill had a 44% favorability rating and a 45% unfavorable rating, while Ciattarelli scored 46% favorability and 46% unfavorable, according to Newsweek. Sherrill has been plagued by a number of scandals during this election, including a cheating scandal from her Naval Academy days. In 1994, the academy’s commencement program did not list Sherrill’s name, and she was banned from walking at the graduation ceremony. The Democrat has also been questioned about the reported $7 million she made from stock trades. Sherrill was fined for violating the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act of 2012, known as the STOCK Act. Additionally, as reported by The Daily Wire earlier this week, Sherrill has refused to condemn the New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) for its promotion of woke drag culture inside the classroom for state public school educators. The NJEA is behind one of the top-spending political groups in the state and strongly endorsed Sherrill last month. In the days following the election, the NJEA is set to host an event to celebrate “the vibrant world of drag” for public school teachers. The event, called “Drag is not a Crime: The Past, Present, and Future of Drag,” is part of the NJEA Consortium program, an initiative to boost diversity, equity, and inclusion, with a focus on minority communities in K-12 classrooms across New Jersey. The New Jersey Project promoted the event with a post emphasizing the need to “ignite creativity in the classroom” and how “drag is what education is all about.” Ciattarelli’s campaign told The Daily Wire that the NJEA and Sherrill don’t care about education and teachers. “Drag might not be a crime, but looking the other way while 80% of third graders in some of New Jersey’s schools can’t read at grade level should be,” a campaign strategist for Ciattarelli said. “The NJEA and far-left politicians like Mikie Sherrill could care less about education or teachers,” the statement continued. “The NJEA’s core mission is preserving political power, pushing an extreme ‘woke’ agenda on young children, and propping up out-of-touch politicians like Mikie Sherrill who vote against parental rights.” “When Jack Ciattarelli is Governor, parents are back in charge and the NJEA is in timeout,” the strategist added.
