CNN Political Briefing: New Jersey Could Have the Sleeper Race of 2025
CNN Politics
Sep 19, 2025

The 2025 campaign season is heating up, and the race for New Jersey governor could be the sleeper contest of the year. Democratic candidate Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill will face Republican Jack Ciattarelli, a former assemblyman, in their first debate on Sunday. While Sherrill currently leads in polling, Ciattarelli hopes to stage another come-from-behind surprise with President Trump's backing. ⁠New Jersey Globe⁠ editor-in-chief David Wildstein gives David Chalian an insider's perspective on the race.
