With Electoral College Vote Finalized, Will NJ Republicans FINALLY Acknowledge Biden-Harris Win?

TRENTON, NJ — Yesterday the members of the Electoral College met in Trenton and the other 49 state capitals to officially cast their votes for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris winning New Jersey’s 14 electoral votes as part of their total of 306 electoral votes. With President Trump’s legal challenges continuing to fall flat and any path to overturning the election long since exhausted, the results are final and not open to any other conclusion. Even many national Republican figures are now finally coming to grips with reality and acknowledging the results of the election, from several U.S. Senators to the Governor of Georgia, making New Jersey’s Republicans now more extreme in their devotion to Donald Trump than the Republican Governor of the Peachtree State.

Given that it’s more clear now than ever before — a full six weeks after Election Day — that the Biden-Harris ticket won, the New Jersey Democratic State Committee is once again calling on Republican leaders like Jack Ciattarelli, Doug Steinhardt, Tom Kean, Jr., Chris Smith and Jeff Van Drew to finally acknowledge both reality and the will of the people of New Jersey and stop undermining our democracy.

“The longer that New Jersey Repubican leaders continue this farce, the more damage they do to our democracy and to our society, and the harder it will be to undo,” said NJDSC Executive Director Saily Avelenda. “This isn’t a question of politics, it’s about basic ideas like what is objectively true and what isn’t. If Jack Ciattarelli, Doug Steinhardt and the rest of these prominent Republican leaders can’t accept reality, they have absolutely no business even being in public service and should go away and make room for people who have enough courage to speak the truth instead of cowering behind Donald Trump.”
