Today on Today Explained. Hi.
Miles Bryan, colleague, producer, reporter.
What's up?
I'm here to take you on a field trip today, Noel, to the beating heart of American politics.
The East Wing of the White House.
No. A provocative group chat?
Nope.
We're going to New Jersey.
New Jersey?
Yes, New Jersey.
The garden state's electing a governor in just about two weeks.
And, you know, Jersey's usually a blue state, but this race is really tight.
They're neck and neck.
And the dams thought they were picking a safe choice.
You know, they're candidates moderate, suburban,
but she's really struggled to win over working class voters,
especially the Latino voters who defected to Trump en masse in the presidential election last year.
You're mad at Trump, but you don't like the Democrats either.
Yeah, yeah, it's right.
Intriguing.
