NJ-GOV: 'All Of Us Are Being Tested Right Now,' Obama Tells Democrats in Newark
Former President Barack Obama urged a crowd of thousands gathered at a campaign rally in New Jersey on Saturday night to reject President Trump’s vision for America and to instead support a “leader who understands the mission.”
“You’ve got a candidate for governor who is a proven fighter, someone who will work for you every single day,” Mr. Obama said of Representative Mikie Sherrill, the Democrat running for governor against Jack Ciattarelli, a Republican endorsed by Mr. Trump.
“If you meet this moment,” he said, “You will not just put New Jersey on a better path. You will set a glorious example for this nation.”
The event, at a community college in Newark, showcased Democratic unity — and a few jitters — as the neck-and-neck race enters its final stretch.
