DNC chair says N.J. is central to Democrats' push against Trump [View all]

Three days before the primary for governor, the country’s top Democrat strolled into New Jersey, saying the state is a vital battleground for Democrats’ attempts to hit back at President Donald Trump.

Ken Martin, the chair of the Democratic National Committee, visited and canvassed in the Somerset County community of Basking Ridge on Saturday afternoon, pushing voters to participate in next week’s primary.

“Stopping Donald Trump starts right here in New Jersey,” Martin said. “Make no mistake about it.”

Democrats expect to face former Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli in the November general election. Martin, who hasn’t endorsed a candidate in the primary, said Ciattarelli would align with Trump and called on Democrats to unite against him.
