A guy of Italian descent is running for the Republicans against a ditzy female socialist from Virginia who has a host of problems. The race is competitive. Steve Cortes points out that the state of New Jersey has the highest property taxes in the country. He says that New Jersey ethnics are turning against the socialists, and invokes the messaging of Tony Soprano (some vulgarity). Includes some interesting factoids about the state:
ETHNIC NEW JERSEY MOVES RIGHT

🚨My new documentary is out!
Tony Soprano’s hometown flipped Red in 2024.
Passaic County, where much of the show takes place, went from -16% for Trump in 2020 to a TRUMP WIN in 2024.

I watched all of that video and was surprised how things have tightened up in NJ. That is good news. I trust that Vance will take the state in 2028.
The Tony Soprano clips were priceless.
I was in Spain several years ago and took the opportunity to see the tomb of Christopher Columbus.
Fred, the woman who is running for the socialists is a turkey who was involved with some cheating activities when she was in one of the service academies; and two of her own kids were admitted to the service academies when she served in Congress. She is also a trans advocate. As I noted, she is a transplant from Virginia, and therefore is not a Jersey native.
It is obviously a tough state for the Republicans, and one big reason is there are so many internationals– Indian, other Asian, middle Eastern. The Republican Ciattarelli is about 3 points behind in the polls.
I sense an upset brewing:

I hope so, Fred. I don’t know much about the Republican, but New Jersey needs a change. I hope he can provide it.
