The Murphy-Trump relationship has been complicated. The Northeast politicians sparred throughout 2018 and 2019 over issues ranging from immigration to environmental policy, disputes which often involved litigation initiated by the Murphy Administration. The Trump campaign is currently suing Trenton over its remote November election. Following Tuesday’s debate, the Governor walked back his earlier praise of the President’s COVID-19 response.
Murphy and his wife dined with President Trump at Bedminster back in mid-June.
