NJ — A Republican actually called out Trump on Gateway. Shocking, right?

Joe Hathaway didn’t dodge it: he said using the Gateway tunnel as a bargaining chip is wrong — and he said so loudly in a district Trump can’t afford to alienate. That’s courage or political math. Take your pick.

This New Jersey Republican isn’t afraid to push back against Trump. Is that enough?

It’s an uncommon strategy these days in the GOP. But the Trump affiliation proved to be Republicans’ downfall in the race for governor last year.

Why it matters:
This isn’t performative hand-wringing. When a GOP hopeful in a blue-leaning NJ suburban seat breaks with Trump on infrastructure and immigration plans, it changes what vulnerable Republicans can actually defend at the ballot box.
