The congressional delegation in NJ was 6-6 ten years ago. It's now 11-1 Democrat (again).
Let's stop pretending this was a good era politically for the party in the state.
From the loudest Republican legislative critic of Trump/MAGA in NJ. What will NJ GOP do as it needs to defend the seats held by Bramnick and 37 other senators and assemblymembers and try to win back at least the 6 seats the party has lost since Trump's 1st election?

To the people of New Jersey’s Seventh District: thank you for putting your trust in me.
It is the honor of a lifetime to serve you, your family, and to deliver for this district.
No matter who you voted for, I will be your representative in Washington.
On Election Day, I'm usually crunching numbers, writing B-matter or prepping for on-air. No longer FT, I am able this year to learn how an election works first-hand.
More than 1.2M have voted early in NJ. Democrats maintain a large statewide advantage and in every district except CD4 (Smith - R). About 100K fewer Republicans have voted compared with 2025, a sign of the enthusiasm gap. insidernj.com/colleen-odea-e…
CD7 (Kean - R) will be a tougher win for the incumbent. @KeanForCongress trails by almost 30K (20+ pts) to @RebeccaForNJ07. His past margins: 2024 won by 23k, 2022 won by 9K, 2020 (before Dems gifted him in redistricting) lost by 5K
NJ CD2 (Van Drew - R) rating change again, to leans R.
Latest early voting totals show a close to 14K (12.5 pts) advantage for Democrat Zack Mullock. Will Republicans show up on Election Day to make that up?
VD won by 62K in 2024, in 2022 midterm by 45K, in 2020 by 22K.
Here's what @GovSherrillNJ had to say about the Michigan Senate race from @INSIDER__NJ: insidernj.com/governor-sherr…
Proof of problems with @USPS? A package I sent on 10/26 went to Jersey City, then New York, where it sat for two days before being sent back to Jersey City and finally as in transit. Huh?

Dems continue to have significant vote leads in CD7 (@KeanForCongress v @RebeccaForNJ07) and CD2 (@Congressman_JVD and @ZMullock)

If my Republican Party does not do well Tuesday, the same members who have blamed the moderate Republicans (me and others), or voter fraud for bad results, may start to run out of excuses and may have to blame Martians 👽 or creatures from another planet.
