In 2025, Virginia and New Jersey are set to hold gubernatorial elections, with Virginia's candidates unchallenged, leading to no primaries. New Jersey's Democratic primary is marked by high spending, fueled by the state's robust public campaign-financing system. Trump's endorsement of Jack Ciattarelli has solidified his position in the Republican primary, effectively sidelining other candidates. The outcomes of these elections are particularly significant as they may indicate voter sentiment during the second Trump administration, especially with limited public polling prior to the primaries on June 10.
The races will undoubtedly be studied closely as an early indicator of where voters stand five months into the second Trump administration.
The most striking thing about the Democratic gubernatorial race is how much money multiple candidates are raising and spending.
Ciattarelli has led comfortably in every public poll as a result of Trump's endorsement.
New Jersey has one of the oldest and most generous public campaign-financing systems in the country.
