who won nj debate

Mikie Sherrill won the final New Jersey gubernatorial debate against Jack Ciattarelli. She was seen as the decisive and principled leader, clearly presenting how she would lower costs for New Jersey families, while Ciattarelli appeared desperate, frequently interrupted, and gave former President Trump an "A" grade despite criticism of Trump's policies affecting New Jersey. The debate was marked by heated exchanges, particularly over the opioid crisis and Trump’s influence. Sherrill's performance was widely praised as the stronger and commanding showing in the debate.
