Republican Jack Ciattarelli is supporting his support for President Donald Trump to win the Republican primaries next month for Governor in New Jersey, promising support for the President and saying during a debate on Tuesday that he would not challenge Trump’s executive orders in the Court.
“I will continue working with the president. We talked about that last week when we talk about making the country and New Jersey again be safe. We do it undoing the sanctuary cities, getting rid of our sanctuary state,” said Cistertarelli during an exchange of immigration policy.
“I told him that my attorney general will not sue the White House for the executive orders. We are not going to waste taxpayers dollars,” said Cistertarelli, and then added that he “would continue [Trump]’S leader “in deportations and that criminals should be deported.
“At the end of the day, if you are going to deport all 14, 15 or 16 million, support for the president,” said Cattarelli. “He was chosen in the promise to make the country safe again.”
Cictarelli defended his support to give driver licenses to undocumented immigrants, saying: “If by chance there are people who are not going to deport, we have to know who they are.”
Ciattarelli promoted Trump’s support several times throughout the debate, in which he faced former Radio Bill Spadea, a firm party party, and state senator Jon Bramnick, a Trump critic. Two other republican candidates on the electoral ticket for the elementary school of June 10 did not comply with the fundraising threshold to qualify for the debate, which was organized by New Jersey, the New Jersey Globe, Rider University and Save Jersey.
Cattarelli, a former state assemblyman who lost by little in the general elections against Democratic governor Phil Murphy in 2021, has led the primary field in limited public surveys and campaign expenses. The Ciattarelli campaign also launched a television announcement on Tuesday that highlighted Trump’s support.
Spadea acknowledged in the debate that Trump chose to support Ciattarelli, but suggested that Trump was influenced by biased surveys.
“The president supported a survey, a survey that was conducted and paid by Jack’s campaign,” Spadea said in his opening statement. “The president did not support a plan. The president did not support a set of principles.”
The candidates were asked how, as Trump allies, they would navigate the cuts led by Republicans to federal programs that could negatively affect New Jersey residents.
“Wasn’t the recession in 2011 our ability to do this and do that, but nevertheless, we face that challenge? And I think we can face this challenge,” said Cistertarelli. “But the first job of any governor is to provide health and security. And what [means] Taking care of our most vulnerable people, whether people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, people in Medicaid, we will find a way. “
Spadea said that Trump does not agree on “multiple occasions.”
“The disagreement is fine. You have to protect this state,” said Spadea.
Braminick promised to “fight for New Jersey, even if that means being disagree with Washington’s Republicans. New Jersey has to be the first; it is simple as that.”
Cictarelli launched himself as the candidate with the most likely to win in November. He lost to Murphy for 3 points four years ago, and this year’s career is expected to be competitive. A field full of busy of the Democrats compete in the primaries next month to replace Murphy, who cannot apply for re -election due to the term limits.
