Overview

  • Donald Trump announced his 'Complete and Total Endorsement' of Jack Ciattarelli in a Truth Social post on May 12, 2025.
  • Trump praised Ciattarelli as an 'America First Candidate' who will advance MAGA policies and work closely with the Trump administration if elected.
  • Ciattarelli, previously a Trump critic in 2015, has since fully aligned with Trump's agenda, becoming the presumptive frontrunner in the June 10 GOP primary.
  • The endorsement reshapes the primary race, leaving rivals like Bill Spadea recalibrating their strategies to compete.
  • Republicans see the race as a key opportunity to flip New Jersey's governorship, buoyed by recent electoral shifts suggesting the state may be trending more competitive.
