NEW YORK, Nov 4 — New Jersey’s Democratic governor won reelection albeit just barely, providing some consolation to President Joe Biden on an otherwise disastrous day at the polls, results showed Wednesday.
“It’s a surprise because the polling suggested that Governor Murphy was anywhere between eight to 12 points ahead,” said Saladin Ambar, a political science professor at Rutgers University. Ambar said he saw both local and national issues at play in the state, which borders New York. The last Democratic governor to be reelected by New Jersey voters was in 1977, he noted.
He said Murphy suffered from Biden’s unpopularity and the president’s struggle to push his vast spending plans through Congress amid prolonged infighting in the Democratic Party.
