NBC - The New Jersey governor's race is one of the first major tests of President Donald Trump's ability to turn out his voters when he is not on the ballot. New Jersey is one of only two states with governor’s races this year, and New Jersey Republican Jack Ciattarelli is the only candidate for governor with Trump's endorsement. 

Republicans have struggled to turn out the president's supporters in off-year and midterm elections, including in a number of special elections so far in 2025. And these voters could be key to Ciattarelli's path to victory. 

Politics reporter Bridget Bowman looked at Ciattarelli’s "Make NJ Great Again" campaign and examined how embracing Trump could potentially give the candidate a boost.
