Representative Mikie Sherrill won the Democratic nomination for New Jersey governor Tuesday, defeating five rivals thanks to heavy fundraising and political support from the bulk of the party establishment. She will face Republican Jack Ciattarelli, a former state legislator who narrowly lost a previous gubernatorial race in 2021.

Sherrill’s victory means that in the two main statewide elections of 2025, for the governorships of New Jersey and Virginia, the Democratic Party is nominating candidates drawn directly from the military-intelligence apparatus—what the WSWS has characterized as the “CIA Democrats.”

        With the cynicism typical of capitalist politics, Sherrill nonetheless sought to appease popular hatred of President Trump by posturing as an intransigent opponent of the Trump administration’s attacks on democratic rights and social programs.

        Corroboration for her actions being done with cynicism and actually only being posturing.
