PARTY FLIP: Former Obama supporter turns on former president in NJ governor race

0

From Fox News: President Barack Obama’s campaign efforts in New Jersey to support Rep. Mikie Sherrill’s race to serve as the Garden State’s governor was a “Hail Mary” pass from Democrats that generated “fake excitement,” conservative voters told Fox News Digital during a Turning Point Action rally in South Jersey Monday afternoon.

“I’ll say this as an African-American, we’re done hearing Barack Obama try to tell us how we’re supposed to vote,” New Jersey voter Shawn Crump told Fox News Digital Monday afternoon. “Because, full disclosure, I was a Democrat. I worked on his campaign in 2008, and he just let us down. He let this country down, but he especially let down a lot of African-Americans. So we really don’t want to hear him tell us how we were supposed to go.”

Crump was among a group of Republican voters who traveled to Medford, New Jersey, Monday afternoon for a Turning Point Action rally to mobilize further support for Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli in the final hours before Election Day. The rally was billed as a “Super Chase” event, where community members then head out to remind voters to submit their ballots. Ciattarelli did not attend this specific rally.

Attendees heard from local conservative leaders before hitting the road to knock on doors and remind people to get out and vote in the final hours of the election.


Obama endorsed both Democrat gubernatorial candidates, Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey and Abigail Spanberger in Virginia, and has been campaigning for them in an effort to help get them over the hump.

Meanwhile, Republicans are trying to hold Virginia and flip New Jersey.
