The GOP victories just keep coming.

In New Jersey, Republicans are anxiously waiting to see the final outcome of the gubernatorial election but it’s a state race that truly highlights how much trouble the Democrat Party is in. Republican newcomer Edward Durr, a commercial truck driver, is on the cusp of defeating New Jersey’s Senate President, one of that state’s most powerful politicians. The real kicker? Durr reportedly spent less than $200 on his campaign.

The Daily Wire reports:

Steve Sweeney (D-West Deptford) has been New Jersey’s state Senate President since 2010 and has served in the state Senate since 2002. With 99.37% of precincts reporting in New Jersey’s 3rd District, Sweeney trails Republican Edward Durr, a commercial truck driver who reportedly spent just $153 on his own campaign.

Durr’s low-key campaign and potential to oust Sweeney has shocked politicos, even if the race has received a fraction of the coverage as that of the gubernatorial election. The tightness of the race was so unexpected that the New Jersey Globe was forced to retract its article calling the race for Sweeney early in the night. The Globe initially reported within minutes of the polls closing that Sweeney, as well as Assemblyman John Burzichelli (D-Paulsboro) and Assemblyman Adam Taliaferro (D-Woolwich), won re-election. An update was added to the article at 1:11 a.m.:

Update: This race call was retracted at 1:11 a.m., after it became clear all three Democrats stood a strong chance of losing.

At the time of this writing, Burzichelli and Taliaferro are trailing their Republican challengers, realtor Beth Sawyer and EMT Bethanne McCarthy-Patrick.

Americans are sick and tired of Democrats control, and this race acts as a barometer for how midterms are likely to go.



  1. Time to make New Jersey more like Florida and Texas——Pro-Business——Anti-Socialist
    kick these career crooked politicians out, and Illegals out! WAKEUP AMERICA

    1. Americans woke up, globalists and demonrats and rinos and media keep their libby snow flake sheep sleeping and refuse to leave the demonrat plantation .

    1. They already tried. Election officials in Fairfax county VA tried to get the Governor(?) to change the voting rules. In Virginia mail in ballots must have the last four numbers of your social security number on the envelope. They wanted that rule dropped. The state legislature is the only source of voter change. The Republicans found out and now a judge is involved. We now know why DEMS want mail in ballots. No ID you can repeatedly use one envelope to vote several times.

  2. NOW IF ONLY WE COULD WREAK HAVOK ON NEW JERSEY, AND TAKE IT TO, THE DEMS WILL LOSE A LOT OF SLEEP TONIGHT, AS WE (THE PATRIOTS OF AMERICA) WILL HAVE SPOKEN!.

  3. The funny thing here is the dimwit nitwits are not listening. Their juggernaut of socialism/communism just keeps on rolling along in the DC cesspool. None of them are getting the message from the US citizens of this nation. It is small wonder that they recognize nothing but their own rhetoric. They assume they represent their constituents without really listening to anyone but themselves and their lemmings.

    As they lie to their voters then casually ignore their promises made for votes. This is a lesson for the nation about dimwits. They lie, they steal and they cheat. And without their apparatus of crime to steal elections, they lose. And this has been going on for too long.

    Time to strip this nation of dimwit nitwits and the rino nitwits was well. Clean up for the cesspool is coming. Flush the floaters now and try to drain it completely of all those nasty stinky floaters on both sides of the aisle!

  4. The races should not have been as close as they were!!!!
    Still lots of stupid Americans out there still voting for the party who got us into this mess!!!!

    1. god continues to allow his globalists and their puppets demonrats and rinos and media to use their voter fraud .

  5. OHHHHHHHHHH that’s got to hurt, I’m loving it,the dumbocraps karma is just starting, they haven’t seen anything yet.Get reddy for a red tidal wave 100 strong. and make the commie party irrelevant, replace them with politicians for the people.

    1. globalists know they need to use more of their globalist voter fraud to appoint/reappoint their puppets; demonrats and rinos .
