Mikie Sherrill wins Democratic primary for NJ governor
Editor's note: The interview with Mikie Sherrill aired on PIX on Politics on March 28.
NEW JERSEY (PIX11) – Mikie Sherrill has won the Democratic primary for New Jersey governor, according to the Associated Press.
Sherrill will now represent the Democratic party in the November general election to fill the current Gov. Phil Murphy's seat. Murphy was elected in 2018 and is reaching his term limit this year.
It was a crowded democratic pool, with candidates including Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, state Sen. Steve Sweeney, New Jersey Education Association President Sean Spiller, Congressman Josh Gottheimer, Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop, and Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill.
A recent poll by PIX11, Emerson College and The Hill revealed Newark Airport, the economy, and the Trump administration are key priorities for New Jersey voters this election. It also found that about 24% of Democratic voters were still undecided just weeks ahead of the election.
The mid-May PIX11 poll identified Sherrill as a frontrunner in the race with a 28% share of the vote.

Zohran Mamdani brings the Bernie Sanders method to New York
NEW YORK — 'It's easy to forget now,' said Zohran Mamdani, 'but four years ago, Eric Adams was hailed as the new face of Democratic Party politics.' Mamdani, a 33-year old state assemblyman and member of Democratic Socialists of America, had just launched a canvass in Harlem with 100 of his campaign's 29,000 volunteers. He was waiting out a summer rainstorm in a coffee shop, laying out his strategy for the June 24 Democratic mayoral primary — briefly interrupted by three young women who saw him, gasped, and called him 'the mayor.' The candidate finished his point: Adams, who quit an unwinnable primary to seek election as an independent, had 'pitted different sets of New Yorkers against each other, so as to evade any actual institutional response' to the city's problems. A new mayor could confront the Trump administration, which Adams decided not to do. He could also prove that progressives, if given the keys to a city, could make life cheaper and safer. To get there, and past former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, he's proposed $10 million in upper-income and corporate tax hikes, for which he'd need improbable sign-off from the state. Four years ago, Democrats saw their future in a tough-talking Black ex-cop who seemed to synthesize calls for racial justice and safer streets. Now, even as its Washington wing frets about finding moderate candidates to remake the party's damaged, elitist image, the biggest city in the country is considering a move in the opposite direction. That would be toward the Bernie Sanders model: A proud socialist and critic of modern Israel who promises huge new taxes and an expansion of city government. 'We've allowed this language of tackling fraud and waste, and prioritizing efficiency, to become the language of the right, when in fact it should be the language of the left,' said Mamdani. 'If you are passionate about public goods and about public service, you have to be just as passionate about public excellence.' Thirteen days out from the primary, the race for Adams's job has evolved into a competition between Mamdani and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, with seven candidates trailing behind. Five are trying to notch enough ranked-choice votes to win the final count; state senator Jessica Ramos and businessman Whitney Tilson are largely running to stop Mamdani. None had built campaigns quite as ready for this moment, as Democratic anger at the Trump presidency boils over. Mamdani did not join other Democrats in renouncing the 'defund the police' movement. He defended his support for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel, and his opposition to a 'Jewish state' of Israel instead of one that defended 'equal rights' unlinked from religion. Those had been candidate-killing issues in other campaigns. But New York Democrats will vote while the Trump administration is ramping up immigration raids and enforcement in major cities; when Israel's 20-month war in Gaza has infuriated younger voters; and when the cost of housing and groceries has become a bigger issue than crime. In polling conducted by Data for Progress, which found Mamdani only narrowly behind Cuomo in the ranked-choice vote, 28% of voters ranked 'housing' as their top issue, 20% ranked other economic issues, and 18% ranked 'crime and public safety.' Support for Israel didn't rank. 'Trump has shown us that on one side of politics, there's a limitless imagination, and on the other, we are constantly constructing an ever-lowering ceiling,' Mamdani told Semafor. He has promised to freeze rent, make city buses fare-free, open city-run discount groceries, and raise taxes on the richest New Yorkers and businesses to pay for this. Those promises sounded more credible, he said, after Democrats watched the new president demand deeper tax cuts at the same time he wanted to buy Greenland. 'I'm talking about less money than Andrew Cuomo gave to Elon Musk as a corporate tax break.' Mamdani entered the race in October, when conventional wisdom said that a more experienced, less progressive candidate could unseat the scandal-plagued Adams. City Comptroller Brad Lander positioned himself early as that candidate, joining the campaign before Mamdani; Adrienne Adams, the (unrelated) city council speaker, jumped in three months ago, after Adams' deal with the Trump DOJ effectively ended his campaign as a Democrat. Cuomo entered the race weeks later, and neither Lander nor Adams has been able so far to dislodge Mamdani as the ex-governor's biggest threat. The ranked-choice voting system complicates any other candidate's strategy. Voters up to five candidates on their ballots, and tabulators count their preferences until one candidate gets a majority. In 2021, the first year under the new system, city sanitation commissioner Kathryn Garcia was the first choice of only 20% of primary voters, but nearly won the primary, because so many Democrats marked her as an alternative, lower on their ballots. 'The state of politics for New York right now for the Democratic Party is really an amazing litmus test for the Democratic Party across the nation,' Adrienne Adams told the New York Editorial Board, in one of its candidate interviews. Progressive groups and leaders, like the Working Families Party and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., have urged voters to leave Cuomo off their ballots and rank only the candidates they align with most. For the WFP, that was Mamdani in first place, followed by Lander, followed by Adams, followed by state senator Zellnor Myrie; for Ocasio-Cortez, it was Mamdani, Adams, Lander, former Comptroller Scott Stringer, and Myrie. The non-Cuomo alternative candidates have sometimes portrayed Mamdani as green and unrealistic. But they've been busier introducing themselves as the responsible alternatives to Cuomo, appealing to the 50% of likely primary voters who view him unfavorably. 'If I'm running against someone, I'm running against Andrew Cuomo. He's who's leading in the polls,' Lander said in an interview after a forum for Jewish voters in the Upper West Side. 'I'm running against a corrupt, abusive, self-serving politician who's only running to rehearse his own grievances.' Mamdani's buoyant, omnipresent social media campaign has been hard for Lander and the rest of the field to compete with. When the spotlight has fallen on him, he has kept it by proposing simpler, bigger, and more aggressive ideas, like free childcare and a graduated rise to a $30 minimum wage. Justin Brannan, a city council member running for comptroller with Mamdani's support, said that he would not support him on BDS. But Adams, he said, had helped create the conditions for an electorate that craved an anti-austerity agenda, and didn't want to be told it was impossible. 'New York City used to be the place for big ideas, and somewhere along the way, we just stopped doing them,' said Brannan. 'De Blasio with universal pre-K was, like, the last time we did something big. The past almost four years with Eric Adams, we've been like, 'Oh, if we can keep the libraries open six days a week, that's a huge victory.'' At the Upper West Side 'New York Jewish Agenda' forum, Stringer proposed a $1 billion 'very, very rainy day' fund to protect the city from Trump administration attacks on grants or programs. Lander suggested putting 'less than $100 million' of the city's Medicaid funding into an independent authority 'so we can provide reproductive and gender affirming care' without Trump interference. Three days later, Mamdani summoned reporters to the Financial District for his plan to 'Trump-proof' New York: The taxes that would raise $10 billion, and total resistance to his deportations. Asked if he agreed with Mayor Adams that the NYPD should arrest protesters who interfered with ICE enforcement, Mamdani rejected the premise. 'It's ironic to hear that from a mayor who literally drove on the sidewalk in the final days of the previous mayoral election,' he said. 'This is an indication of their willingness to be accomplices to what is going on and what ICE agents are inflicting upon New Yorkers.' Six months ago, that answer might have been a problem for Mamdani. But most Democrats assumed, at that time, he had a lower ceiling — that the positions he'd taken would hold him down. After Mamdani's 'Trump-proof' press conference, an X account that clips news interviews shared one of the candidate sticking to his position that ICE should be abolished altogether. 'A lawless president does not mean we abolish entire agencies and our laws,' Adrienne Adams wrote on top of the video. 'People elect us as leaders to solve problems, not pledge allegiance to rigid ideologies.' One day later, she deleted that response, which had been torn apart by pro-Mamdani commenters. It was not, according to her campaign, what she really wanted to say. The decline of Eric Adams, since he wrapped himself around the president's finger, was the catalyst for Mamdani's rise. He presided over falling crime, which lowered the salience of that issue; he suggested that the forced busing of migrants from Texas, to take advantage of the city's generous sheltering laws, was forcing austerity on the city. As Adams receded, with Trump in office, the agenda changed. Mamdani's campaigning changed it too. His early ad campaign, put together by the team that made ads for Bernie Sanders and John Fetterman, got him into the conversation with candidates (Lander et al) who were taken more seriously as potential mayors. He leapt over them as Cuomo's closest competitor — and then put him into the cohort of potential mayors. This involved a lot of risks, taken in attention-getting ways, like his visit to the courthouse where a grad student leader of Gaza protests was being arraigned. Following the candidates, I heard many times that Trump had given Democrats envy of enormous plans that were crisp and memorable and not green-eyeshaded to death; Mamdani was the only contender doing that. Two years ago, some of the same dynamics here played out in Chicago — which has an all-party runoff system, not a Democratic primary then a general election. Voters forced a choice between Brandon Johnson, an anti-austerity progressive, and Paul Vallas, a conservative Democrat who, unfortunately for his campaign, was on tape attacking Barack Obama. If Mamdani wins this primary, I'd expect the specter of Johnson, who is tremendously unpopular now, to hover over New York. Adams is already running as an independent; Cuomo has the ability to. Tilson's campaign, after Cuomo's, is the most oriented around stopping Mamdani. At a weekend stop at a Ukrainian festival, after he gave a short speech while wearing a patch-covered jacket from his trips to bring aid to that country, he warned of a city that would be threatening to Jewish New Yorkers and far more poor, if Mamdani were able to win. 'We are the wealthiest city in the world,' said Tilson. 'I think he and the DSA people he surrounds himself with would create a hostile business environment that would drive away businesses and hurt economic growth.' For In These Times, the socialist writer and editor Bhaskar Sunkara asks whether Mamdani can become the millennial generation's Bernie Sanders. 'Mamdani has shown that it's possible to build a campaign that is simultaneously insurgent and competent.' In the New York Times, Nicholas Fandos studies Mandani's biography, which Cuomo is attacking as scarily unfit for a serious mayor. 'There are candidates in the field with exciting ideas and no track record of delivering on them,' said Lander. In The Free Press, Olivia Reingold why the current trend in the primary is a 'nightmare scenario' for Cuomo, and for New Yorkers who might have supported Adams again. For the Manhattan Institute, Liena Zagare why most of the non-Cuomo candidates are not using their sharpest knives on Mamdani, even as he soars.

Watch live: Democratic governors testify before House on sanctuary state status
Democratic governors from three 'sanctuary states' will face questioning Thursday morning before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on their status as a refuge for migrants. Lawmakers will hear testimony from Democratic Govs. Tim Walz (Minn.), Kathy Hochul (N.Y.) and JB Pritzker (Ill.) on their policies amid days of unrest over President Trump's sweeping immigration agenda and Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in Los Angeles. The White House on Wednesday said more than 330 people have been arrested amid the protests. The hearing comes after Trump earlier this year proposed executive actions targeting sanctuary cities his administration said were not complying with federal efforts to crack down on illegal immigration. The event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT. Watch the live video above. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Trump's Big Bill Would Let Him Expand His L.A. Immigration Crackdown ‘Everywhere'
Donald Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' wouldn't just force millions of poor people off their health insurance and food assistance to help pay for more tax cuts for the rich. The Trump tax bill would steer tens of billions of dollars to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for detention capacity, employee bonuses, and to hire new agents. It would supercharge ICE's ability to conduct raids, and allow the administration to expand the campaign of terror it's waging on immigrants in Los Angeles to blue cities around the country. ICE's aggressive worksite raids and courthouse arrests throughout the Los Angeles area have, of course, inspired a wave of protests — giving the president an excuse to send the U.S. military to a Democratic city, something he's long fantasized about, while inspiring demonstrations across the country. 'This bill would give Donald Trump the ability to do what he's doing [in California] on a scale we really haven't seen before,' says David Bier, the director of immigration studies at the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank. 'He will be able to replicate this militarized approach to Los Angeles across maybe dozens of American cities.' For Trump and key officials, including immigration-crackdown policy architect Stephen Miller, this is exactly the point, with Los Angeles currently being used as an autocratic staging area. They want to replicate this militarized, ramped-up blitz of ICE raids, backed by the U.S. armed forces, in several other Democratic strongholds — particularly if larger-scale protests spread to other cities. As Rolling Stone previously reported, the president and his senior officials have already mapped out near-term plans for how to further ratchet up the already tense blitz of ICE operations, especially in the coming days in Los Angeles, where the federal agents are now being protected by Trump's literal troop deployment to the city, against the wishes of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom. Sources familiar with the matter tell Rolling Stone that senior Trump administration officials are closely monitoring the situation in L.A. as a test case for what they want to do soon in places such as Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, or the Washington, D.C., area. The key component to the strategy — which is being test-run on the streets of Southern California city — is the collaboration and armed protection of the U.S. military, which Trump, Miller, and others in the administration's upper ranks have long wanted to aggressively wield in domestic raids and anti-immigration campaigns. 'If it works out well in L.A., expect it everywhere,' says a Trump administration official familiar with the operations and planning. The American Prospect's David Dayen notes that the Big Beautiful Bill would give 'the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once,' adding: 'if you see what's happening in L.A., it's coming to your town if the bill passes.' White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson tells Rolling Stone, 'The Trump Administration is committed to fulfilling the president's promise to deport illegal aliens and The One, Big, Beautiful, Bill plays a key role by funding at least 1 million removals, adding new ICE and border personnel, expanding detention capacity, and giving bonuses to hardworking Border Patrol and ICE agents.' She adds that if other cities 'allow violent rioters to attack federal law enforcement, President Trump won't hesitate to step in to protect law enforcement when Democrats refuse.' The Trump administration's immigration enforcement operations are not about targeting violent crime or gang members. According to The Wall Street Journal, Miller recently demanded that ICE 'just go out there and arrest illegal aliens,' at places like Home Depot or 7-Eleven. The administration has also reportedly been directing immigration judges to dismiss pending immigration cases so ICE can then arrest the people involved at the courthouse. Trump's reconciliation bill, which passed the GOP-led House and is currently under consideration in the Republican-led Senate, would give $8 billion to ICE to hire at least 10,000 new employees over five years; $600 million to help hire and onboard those people; and $858 million for employee retention and signing bonuses. The legislation would also provide $45 billion for detention capacity and family residential centers, over $14 billion for transportation and removal operations, $1.3 billion for information technology investments and facilities upgrades to support enforcement and removal operations. Elsewhere, there is $1.3 billion in funds for lawyers to represent the Department of Homeland Security in removal proceedings, and another $3 billion 'to house, transport, and supervise unaccompanied alien children.' If Trump and his party get their way, it will be difficult for everyday citizens not to be affected by the broader immigration crackdown and round-ups. 'The average American will feel the effects of this bill in their daily life,' says Bier. 'They will be expected to carry proof of citizenship and be subject to random harassment and interrogations. This will be like the U.S. border zone just moved inside the U.S. and the normal conduct of law enforcement will be suspended. Huge numbers of Americans will be arrested too, for resisting such intrusions.'
