Can Trump do the impossible?
It has been over three decades since a Republican carried New Jersey in a presidential election and Donald Trump is seeking to break that curse.
“We’re going to try and win the state of New Jersey. I want the people to know that I love it,” Trump predicted in a Friday morning local radio interview on New Jersey 105.1 in the Garden State. “You know, it’s not just going to be like, gee, maybe we can get close. We’re going to win it.”
Trump added that New Jersey “is supposed to be a Democrat state. I think it’s going to flip to Republican.”
The former president spoke on the eve of returning to the Garden State.
“We have a tremendous rally and hope you’re all going to be there. It’s in Wildwood, New Jersey. It’s going to be a big crowd,” the former president touted on Friday.
Democrats do not appear to be taking Trump’s prediction very seriously.
Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey, a Biden surrogate, told reporters on Friday that “Jersey is not going to be a welcoming place for Trump.”
