Fulop cited a recent AtlasIntel poll showing Democratic candidate Rep. Mikie Sherrill leading by only 0.9 points. Fulop noted that if former President Trump were not in office,Ciattarelli might be leading by a important margin. Despite New Jersey&#8217;s historical status as a Democratic stronghold-highlighted by Joe Biden&#8217;s decisive win in 2020-several Democratic local leaders have endorsed Ciattarelli in this race. The campaign has also faced controversies, including a gaffe by Sherrill regarding her stock trading earnings.
