From Fox News: In a Q&A following President-elect Trump’s victory, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy warned he will “fight to the death” against the administration if he detects behavior “contrary to our values.”
“[A]s we respect the peaceful transition of power, if there is any attack on the Garden State or any of its communities from Washington, I will fight back with every fiber of my being,” Murphy said.
“If there’s an opportunity for common ground, we will seize that as fast as anybody,” he conversely added.
State Assembly Minority Leader John DiMaio, R-Hackettstown, told Fox News Digital that Murphy is “missing the message” voters sent Tuesday with the initial rhetoric.
“It’s time for the governor to recognize that his values may not reflect the values of New Jerseyans as widely as he assumes,” he said.
Murphy touted that his administration “stood up fiercely during Trump’s first term on things like defending a woman’s right to choose, advancing common sense gun safety policies, and protecting our immigrant communities,” and declared, “We will continue to do so on all of these fronts and many more.”
Murphy admitted that Trump only lost the state of New Jersey by 4%, compared to 16% in 2020, but still claimed that New Jersey is not a swing state.
