New Jersey has traditionally leaned blue, but this election showed a shift as Donald Trump made significant gains, flipping counties like Passaic from blue to red.
New Jersey has been a blue stronghold for decades, but the 2024 election results showed that that may all be changing.Vice President Kamala Harris won New Jersey with a narrower margin than anticipated, capturing 51.5% of the vote to Donald Trump’s 46.5%. However, Trump managed to flip three counties, including Passaic, a longtime Democratic stronghold."The margin in 2020 in New Jersey was 17-ish points. This year it's 5-ish.
"For a rockbed Democratic County that contains the city of Paterson, that has been a historic part of the Democratic majority statewide for decades, this was a shock of shocks to see Passaic County go red," said Micah Rasmussen, a political science professor at Rider University. Passaic County, which has one of the largest Latino populations in New Jersey and one of the largest Muslim communities outside Michigan, saw strong turnout for Trump.
