Phil Murphy is running one of the most liberal campaigns for Gov in recent times

[Mr. Smith]

Unsurprising. White cis-men are afforded the opportunity to be more openly Left than others given their societal status.

Keith Ellison would have a word with you, took some scare-campaigning...and even then, Perez only
barely scraped by.

Obama also ran a record left for the time, won by 7 points.

[Mr. Smith]

Being the New Jerseyan here, I can say that we don't like Guadagno OR Murphy, but Christie is so bad, that people are plugging their noses and voting for Murphy. I will not be voting for Murphy, and I certainly won't vote for him in 2021, regardless of how his campaign is. Everything he does oozes fakeness, he's the epitome of Generic D, he's a stereotypical rich politician who will jack up property taxes and not give a flying f*** because he's super rich and doesn't affect him too much, and we have a habit of electing bad politicians (except Booker and Daddy Josh Gottheimer)

Lautenberg was decent.
