This NAACP leader once bashed party bosses. Now he’s a key George Norcross ally.

Brutal article but true. If she’s the nominee, Dems will get crushed in November and not because of Musk, stock trades, or Breakfast Club clips. This article nails the real issue after 8 years of Murphy. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...
She says she wants to shake up New Jersey as governor — but running a traditional machine campaign.
