C.

Should have won by larger margin against a mediocre candidate.

F+. He didn’t lose, but he almost lost in literal New Jersey.

Is he a bad campaigner? Does he have a political future? President? U.S. Senator? Treasury secy. when Yellen retires?

C+ because he won.

Murphy was caught a bit flat-footed, but he should not have been surprised at the closeness.  NJ is a more elastic state than many, and it has a suburban base that has become more liberal on social issues such as abortion over the years, but can still be mobilized by crime and tax issues.  The COVID-19 restrictions were a new factor that impacted the suburban base disproportionately.  Murphy wasn't really ready for that, either.

Tax and crime issues still motivate NJ's suburban voters.  People don't appreciate Bronz enough here; he's giving you a window into a world of the swing voters of NJ.  The Biden-Cicciarelli voters.  There were more of them than people thought would be.

Thank you.
