The headache that Jaime Harrison, the DNC, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris face after the devastating loss in Virginia. The race for New Jersey governor is not over, Phil Murphy is holding a slim lead over a Karen.

Many New Jersey residents came close to voting for a nobody who had no political name recognition, no money and no Washed Up 45 in his corner. 

The election will head to a recount and it will determine whether Murphy will break a curse. Usually the party in the White House often embraces a loss in Trenton.

The coronavirus pandemic, culture wars, Biden's sagging poll numbers, inflation, mask mandates, vaccine mandates and failure to pass Build Back Better harmed the Democrats.

Murphy, a Democrat who has pushed New Jersey in a more progressive direction and overseen the state’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, won a second term as the Garden State’s governor Wednesday night, narrowly defeating Republican Karen Ciattarelli in a bitter and closer-than-expected race that was too close to call for nearly 24 hours.

The race was called by The Associated Press early Wednesday evening.

Murphy fended off a fierce challenge from Ciattarelli, a former member of the state Assembly, to become the first Democrat in 44 years to be re-elected New Jersey governor. Brendan Byrne last did it it, in 1977.

The race ended up being much closer than polls that predicted a single-digit but comfortable victory for Murphy, a 64-year-old former Wall Street executive and American diplomat.

When Republicans lose, they call for investigations. The Karen lost and he demands a recount.

As of just before 7 p.m. Wednesday, Murphy’s margin over Ciattarelli was less than a percentage point — 50% to 49.2%. It’s a difference of 19,440 votes out of 2.4 million cast, which if it holds up would make it among the closest governor’s race New Jersey has ever had.

The Murphy campaign immediately announced it will hold a victory party at 10 p.m. in Asbury Park.

But the Ciattarelli campaign criticized the call by the AP.

“With the candidates separated by a fraction of a percent out of 2.4 million ballots cast, it’s irresponsible of the media to make this call when the New Jersey Secretary of State doesn’t even know how many ballots are left to be counted,” Ciattarelli spokeswoman Stami Williams said in a statement.

It’s possible the race could still be contested. Mail-in and provisional ballots may be counted through Monday, and Ciattarelli could petition the state courts for a recount.

Murphy’s victory was one of the lone bright spots for Democrats and a stifling blow just one year after the state turned out in droves to send President Biden to the White House. Several Democrats who were favored to win re-election in legislative races were unseated. The most notable was long-time Senate President Steve Sweeney.

The race was also notable for the number of New Jersey residents who voted early and by mail. Counting those ballots and reporting totals led to confusion Tuesday night and early Wednesday as Ciattarelli seemed poised for a shocking victory. The election also was plagued by votes that were wrongly assigned or double counted in certain counties.

Ciattarelli led the incumbent in early returns deep into election night on Tuesday, rolling up big support in suburban and traditionally Republican parts of the state, while turnout in urban areas was light for Murphy compared to four years ago. Both campaigns left their election night parties without declaring victory or conceding defeat, as Ciattarelli led Murphy by about 1 percentage point overnight.

But Murphy — the state’s 56th governor — pulled ahead Wednesday as more votes were tabulated from Democratic-leaning areas.

So the problem lies within the Congress. The House Progressives have refused to pass the bipartisan infrastructure package. They want the reconciliation bill to be tied to the package. Their refusal to just vote for the bipartisan bill stalled getting things done. Two Democratic senators Karen Sinema of Arizona and Karen Manchin of West Virginia continue to stall the reconciliation and won't back the Democrats in passing voter rights and police reform. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and the Squad have sank progressive candidates and measures on the ballot. Leftists have tried to force the Biden administration to move further to the left despite Biden's appeal to moderates and mainstream Republicans who feel the party has move further to the right. The loss in Virginia has made the Karen a sure shot in the 2024 circus of Republican presidential contenders. Karen Youngkin, governor-elect is now the face of a potential rebound for the fractured party still on Washed Up 45's mushroom penis. 

"Let's go Brandon" is now the rally cry for Republicans and extremists. 

Democrats often try to play like professors. They should be the unruly student and disruptive class.

We need to fight dirty. We need to lie and steal just like Republicans. Fuck morals and democracy. 

We need to play in the mud and keep Republicans on the defensive. We allow them to control the narratives with white nationalist talking points and sloganning. 

Enough is enough.

2022 is coming and I am motivated to fight hard to keep Democrats in power.
