Democrats Race to Boost Sherrill in Tight New Jersey Governor’s Race

Former President Obama campaigned for Mikie Sherrill to mobilize voters amid a dead heat with Republican Jack Ciattarelli in the 2025 New Jersey governor race.

  • On Nov. 1, 2025, Former President Barack Obama stumped for Mikie Sherrill at Essex County College in Newark as an AtlasIntel poll showed her narrowly ahead 50.2% to 49.3%.
  • Despite a Democratic registration edge of 800,000, President Donald Trump's endorsement has energized the race, giving Mikie Sherrill late-campaign attacks against Jack Ciattarelli.
  • The Democratic nominee highlighted her background and record, detailing her win by more than 100,000 votes earlier this year and naming Dale Caldwell, first Black president of Centenary University, as running mate.
  • Both campaigns are racing to boost turnout in New Jersey with record campaign spending and sharp attacks, while Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin says surrogates aim to mobilize activists rather than assume victory.
  • As one of two statewide contests on Tuesday, the New Jersey governor's race is viewed as a bellwether for the 2026 midterm elections with national political implications for President Donald Trump.
