The move comes on the heels of Ciattarelli giving Trump an \u201cA\u201d grade in last week\u2019s debate<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Donald Trump announced<\/a> he will campaign for \u201c100% MAGA\u201d Jack Ciattarelli ahead of November\u2019s gubernatorial election. The Ciattarelli campaign\u2019s decision to have Trump campaign in a state Trump lost three times \u2014 and at a time when poll<\/a> after poll<\/a> shows his approval rating is tanking \u2014 is yet another sign that they are getting desperate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In New Jersey alone, Trump\u2019s approval rating is a paltry 35% in a recent Civiqs poll<\/a>. A major reason New Jerseyans disapprove of Trump is due to his deeply unpopular<\/a> Big Ugly Bill, which causes 390,000<\/a> New Jersey families to lose their health insurance and raises their energy bills by hundreds of dollars<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A reminder:<\/strong> In the key moment of last week\u2019s debate, Jack Ciattarelli gave Trump an \u201cA\u201d grade<\/a>: \u201cI certainly give the president an \u2018A.\u2019 I think he\u2019s right about everything that he\u2019s doing.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mikie Sherrill gave Trump an \u201cF\u201d grade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, <\/em>DNC Deputy Communications Abhi Rahman released the following statement:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>

\u201cJack Ciattarelli is clearly desperate. He\u2019s scared he is going to lose big in November, which is why he is campaigning with Donald Trump at a time when his approval rating is tanking. After Jack gave Trump an \u2018A\u2019 grade last week despite the fact that Trump\u2019s Big Ugly Bill kicks thousands of New Jersey families off their health insurance and raises their energy bills by hundreds of dollars<\/a>, it\u2019s clear that this election comes down to one major truth: Jack is 100% for Trump, while Mikie Sherrill is 100% for New Jersey. New Jerseyans deserve a governor who will lower their costs on Day One \u2014 and that leader is Mikie.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
