Democratic Candidates Compete for New Jersey Governor Nomination

Recent polling indicates a highly competitive Democratic primary for New Jersey governor, with Rep. Mikie Sherrill holding a narrow lead over a crowded field that includes Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop and others, while a significant portion of voters remain undecided. Sherrill is currently the only candidate with a net positive favorability rating, although many voters are unfamiliar with the contenders. Meanwhile, in Georgia, speculation is growing about Stacey Abrams potentially launching a third bid for governor after two previous defeats, with indications that other Democrats may not clear the field for her this time. These developments underscore a dynamic landscape for upcoming Democratic gubernatorial races, marked by competitive primaries and evolving candidate strategies.
