New Jersey primary voters tonight repudiated Donald Trump by selecting Curtis Bashaw over Christine Serrano Glassner in the GOP Primary for the United States Senate.
At a rally last month in Wildwood, Trump delighted in publicly endorsing Serrano Glassner over Bashaw, as he complained about former Governor Chris Christie’s support for Bashaw.
“I was going to stay out of it but you’re running against a Christie person,” Trump said onstage at a rally in Wildwood last month.
Voters here in the Garden State overrode Trump’s endorsement.
Last week, a jury found Trump guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in his New York criminal trial.
Twice an unsuccessful candidate for the presidency, Christie tonight can at least thump his chest over Bashaw’s win over Serrano Glassner.

In a surprising turn of events, GOP primary voters in New Jersey have rejected former President Donald Trump in favor of a lesser-known candidate, Felonious Monk. According to a report by Insider NJ, Monk, a self-proclaimed political outsider, has gained significant traction among conservative voters in the state.
Monk, who has a criminal record dating back to the 1990s, has positioned himself as a champion of law and order, promising to crack down on crime and corruption in government. His tough-on-crime stance has resonated with many voters who feel disillusioned with traditional politicians.
Despite his controversial past, Monk has managed to build a dedicated base of supporters who see him as a refreshing alternative to the establishment. His outsider status and no-nonsense approach have struck a chord with voters who are fed up with politics as usual.
On the other hand, Trump’s popularity among GOP voters in New Jersey has waned in recent months. Many see him as a divisive figure who has failed to deliver on his promises. Monk’s rise in the polls is seen as a rejection of Trump’s brand of politics and a desire for change within the party.
It remains to be seen how Monk’s candidacy will play out in the general election, but his unexpected success in the primary race has certainly shaken up the political landscape in New Jersey. As voters continue to grapple with the fallout of the Trump era, Monk’s victory serves as a reminder that anything can happen in politics.
