Trump not on ballot, but president front and center in New Jersey's primary for governor
- Former state assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli won the Republican primary for New Jersey governor in the election called shortly after polls closed at 8 p.m.
- Ciattarelli entered the race as the front-runner following a 2021 GOP nomination and a narrow 2021 general election loss to Gov. Phil Murphy by less than 3%.
- He ran on a platform that included cutting state expenditures by nearly one-third, limiting property tax increases to help make housing more affordable, and received President Trump’s endorsement during the primary.
- Polls in April and May showed Ciattarelli leading GOP opponents with 42% and 44% support, respectively, while other candidates had single-digit backing before the vote.
- Ciattarelli's victory positions him to challenge Democratic Gov. Murphy, who is ending his second term amid a state history of no party holding three consecutive wins.
