Donald Trump appeared to have met the loftiest expectations for his Iowa caucuses performance on Monday night, Save Jerseyans, and the ex-president’s hold on his party extends hundreds of miles from the Hawkeye State’s frozen tundra.
The Camden County, New Jersey GOP held a caucuses watch party in Stratford and held a non-binding straw poll of their own. As was the case out west, the contest for first place wasn’t close:
“This is informal and is not interned to be an endorsement of any candidate. But it was very one sided,” the blue county GOP organization explained via its social media outlets.
Trump won 31.71% of the vote in Camden County in 2016.
New Jersey Republicans lost 40 delegates to the RNC Convention earlier this month for violating a national GOP rule that delegate selection needed to be completed by May 31st (the NJGOP primary is in June).
