Four candidates in the New Jersey Republican gubernatorial primary have spared few punches in their first debate ahead of the June vote. They all frequently talked over each other Tuesday and faced interruption from the moderators as they continually launched attacks.

They all frequently talked over each other and faced interruption from the moderators as they continually launched attacks, with some of them at times competing for the mantle of who is the biggest supporter of President Donald Trump. Bramnick was the lone Trump skeptic on the stage. Spadea responded by offering sarcastic congratulations: “Jack’s talking about two-time losers,” Bramnick said, alluding to Ciattarelli’s two previous unsuccessful runs for governor.

Spadea, Durr and Ciattarelli have each embraced the president, while Bramnick has kept his distance, arguing that to win New Jersey, a candidate has to appeal not just to Republican primary voters but to Democrats and independents as well.
