From Fox News: Every county in New Jersey shifted further to the left during the high-stakes 2025 gubernatorial election when compared to the 2021 race, according to post-election data.
New Jersey Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill emerged victorious in her campaign to serve as the Garden State’s top leader, defeating Republican candidate Jack Ciattatrrelli, who also ran as the GOP’s gubernatorial nominee in 2021.
The election was highly anticipated following the 2024 federal election, which showed the deep blue state move closer to the right as voters increasingly voted for President Donald Trump — though not enough for the state overall to flip red. Trump saw five counties flip red, and narrowed his 2020 losses in the state from 16 points to six points in 2024.
The inroads gave hope to Republicans in the state that voters could move toward Ciattarelli, but post-election data shows voters overall shifted further to the left in 2025.
Every single one of New Jersey’s 21 counties shifted to the left in last week’s election, some more than others.
In one example, the report explains: “Along the Jersey Shore, where voters frequently lean more to the right, Monmouth County saw a roughly 10-point shift to the left compared to the 2021 election, with Ciattarelli securing 54% of the total votes in 2025 compared to winning 58.8% of the vote in 2021…”
