President Trump issued a sharp warning to New Jersey voters early Monday, saying Democratic gubernatorial candidate Rep. Mikie Sherrill would bring rising crime, soaring energy costs, and “heartache” to the Garden State if elected.
In a fiery Truth Social post, the president took aim at both Sherrill and Virginia’s Democratic gubernatorial contender, Abigail Spanberger, urging voters in both states to reject what he described as far-left policies.
“Why would anyone vote for New Jersey and Virginia Gubernatorial Candidates, Mikie Sherrill and Abigail Spanberger, when they want transgender for everybody, men playing in women’s sports, high crime, and the most expensive energy prices almost anywhere in the world?” Trump wrote. “VOTE REPUBLICAN for massive energy cost reductions, large-scale tax cuts, and basic common sense!”
The president promised that under his administration, gas prices would “soon” fall to about $2 a gallon, contrasting his record with what he called the Democrats’ disastrous energy agenda.
“Under President Trump—ME—gasoline will come down to approximately $2 a gallon very soon! With the Democrats, you’ll be paying $4, $5, and $6 a gallon, and your electric and other energy costs will, likewise, soar,” he said.
Trump told voters that supporting Republican candidates would ensure a “great and very affordable life,” while warning that Democrats would deliver only “unrelentingly high crime, energy prices through the roof, men playing in women’s sports, and HEARTACHE!”
The president has repeatedly gone after Sherrill throughout her campaign, previously calling her a “corrupt radical left Democrat” as early voting began in New Jersey. “She’ll be a travesty as the governor of New Jersey,” Trump said over the weekend.
According to the latest Rutgers-Eagleton poll, Sherrill currently holds a narrow 5-point lead over Republican candidate Jack Ciattarelli, 50% to 45%, among likely voters.
