In this episode of A Numbers Game, Ryan and guest Matt Rooney break down the changing dynamics of New Jersey politics ahead of the 2025 gubernatorial race. With fresh polling showing Republican Jack Ciattarelli closing the gap—and even drawing support from Democratic mayors—they explore signs of Democratic division and voter frustration with Governor Murphy. The discussion also connects New Jersey’s trends to bigger global and national shifts, from the rise of populist movements in Europe to GOP momentum through redistricting. With demographic changes and mail-in ballot data pointing to unexpected Republican strength, this episode examines what could be a turning point in one of America’s bluest states.
