Yes, New Jersey hasn’t voted for the Republican presidential nominee since 1988.
Yes, New Jersey is unlikely to decide this year’s battle for the Electoral College.
But while New Jersey’s statewide blue tint may lead some Republican Trump supporters to believe their vote is “wasted,” that’s not the reality in 2024.
Consider the following, Save Jerseyans:
- The popular vote doesn’t decide the presidency, but it does add to a presidency’s sense of legitimacy. Newsflash: the country is divided. The Left has worked overtime for nearly a decade to discredit President Trump. A Trump popular vote win – which appears more possible than ever with the RCP average now tied – would send a strong signal to the nation and HOPEFULLY Democrats who are already prepared to go full-hypocrite and claim that the 45th president is somehow less-than-entitled to his position.
- Election 2025 is already underway, and a closer-than-expected 2024 result in New Jersey could attract more serious attention from Republican donors and PACs at the national level whose investment is essential to success in gubernatorial cycles.
- Harris wins? The offshore wind scam will continue. Trump wins? Offshore wind is likely doomed. Every New Jersey who cares about our coast and the legendary Jersey Shore needs to a send a loud signal to D.C. (and Trenton) on this issue.
- This is a tremendous recruitment opportunity. If New Jersey Republicans ever want to be competitive again? Attracting and engaging 1 of 4 and 0 of 4 Trump backers is crucial. That effort begins now! The margin will send a message…
- …to elected officials, too. A strong Trump showing may show Republicans (and Democrats who are constantly harrassing Trump and his in-state golf courses) that their position on the Orange Man is politically perilous.
I could give you more, of course, but I shouldn’t need to.
Vote… it matters! More than ever before.
