• Christine Todd Whitman, the former Republican New Jersey governor, said Wednesday that she is pulling for U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill, the Democratic nominee in the race to succeed Gov. Phil Murphy.
• “She’s the right person for the job,” Whitman said of Sherrill in an interview with The Inquirer. “I’ve met with her. She knows how to organize. She knows how to manage and to lead. … Beyond that, it would be really nice to have another woman.”
• Her support underscores how the Republican Party in New Jersey has shifted to the right along with the national party under Trump.
• Whitman said Ciattarelli would “bring MAGA in full force” to New Jersey. “Frankly, Jack has changed from the person I knew decades ago,” she said.
• Whitman said she is hopeful that the state will elect its second female governor come November with Sherrill as the candidate and a Democratic voter registration advantage.
