Despite Expected Ease, NJ and VA Governor Races Are Tighter Than Anticipated, Experts Say

The Democrats running for governor in New Jersey and Virginia are likely to win easily, but surprisingly, the races are tighter than expected. Former Navy officer Mikie Sherrill is struggling to maintain a strong lead, indicating that Trump's actions may be having an impact on voter sentiment. The unexpected competitiveness of these elections suggests that Trump's attempts to undermine election confidence have had some effect, despite his claims to ignore elections. As a result, the outcome of these races now looks less certain than initially anticipated.
