New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy is strongly reaffirming his support for the Harris-Walz presidential campaign, expressing confidence in the duo’s ability to lead the Democratic ticket to victory in the 2024 election. In a recent interview with MSNBC, Murphy stated that North Carolina, a state that has eluded Democrats in presidential elections for 16 years, is “absolutely in play” this time around, with the potential to turn blue under the Harris-Walz campaign.
Governor Murphy did not hold back his enthusiasm for the Democratic ticket, declaring, “We could not have a better duo leading our ticket.” He emphasized that Vice President Kamala Harris made an excellent decision in selecting Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. According to Murphy, Walz is an “extraordinarily genuine, loyal, and smart guy” who has excelled as Minnesota’s governor, making him an ideal partner for Harris as they seek to secure the presidency.
Murphy’s endorsement extends beyond personal praise; he believes that the Harris-Walz team has a powerful message that resonates with voters, particularly in key battleground states like North Carolina. He stressed the importance of the campaign’s focus on economic issues, specifically the need to address the rising cost of living that is affecting middle America. Murphy highlighted that voters need to know that the Harris-Walz team is committed to their side, working to bring the cost of living back in line and addressing the economic concerns of everyday Americans.
As former President Donald Trump prepares to rally his base in North Carolina, the stakes are high for both parties in this crucial state. Murphy’s remarks reflect the Democrats’ strategic push to expand their electoral map and secure a victory in November. The Harris-Walz campaign, with strong endorsements from party leaders like Murphy, is gearing up for an all-out effort to turn North Carolina blue and deliver a decisive win for the Democratic ticket.
