Here's the stories you'll be talking about on the New Jersey 101.5 Morning Show with Eric Scott on Wednesday:

⬛ NJ primary results: Ciattarelli vs. Sherrill in Nov.

❎ NJ primary results
❎ Voters choose candidates for governor

The race for governor is set in New Jersey.

In November, you will be asked to choose between liberal Democrat Mikie Sherrill and Republican Jack Ciattarelli.

Many expected a much tighter race. In the end, it wasn't even close. Sherrill, who had been leading recent polls, easily claimed her party's nomination over two more progressive challengers and two other more centrist candidates.

Democrats showed enthusiasm for the former Navy helicopter pilot who immediately took shots at President Donald Trump.

The margin of victory was even greater in the Republican primary. Jack Ciattarelli was projected the winner by The Associated Press minutes after the polls closed.

⬛ Ciattarelli crushes Spadea to claim GOP victory

❎ Ciattarelli crushes Spadea to win GOP primary
❎ Spadea failed to win a single NJ county
❎ Margin of victory almost 3-to-1

Republican primary voters overwhelmingly chose Jack Ciattarelli as their nominee to run for governor in November.

It wasn't close.

Conservative radio host Bill Spadea was expected to give Ciattarelli a fight, but any hope that Spadea might have had to keep the race close ended when President Donald Trump endorsed Ciattarelli.

Ciattarelli defeated Spadea on election night with a landslide victory margin of over 40 points.

Ciattarelli swept every county, including Ocean County, where Spadea's base of support was believed to be strongest.

⬛ NJ Democrats choose congresswoman for governor

❎ Mikkie Sherrill wins Democratic primary for NJ governor
❎ The only woman in the race
❎ Targets Donald Trump in victory speech

TRENTON — U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill won the Democratic primary in New Jersey’s race for governor, emerging from a crowded field of experienced rivals on the strength of her biography as a Navy pilot and former prosecutor who has been a vocal critic of President Donald Trump.

Sherrill defeated five rivals, including a fellow House member, the mayors of the state’s two biggest cities, a former top state legislator and the head of the influential teachers’ union. She will face the Republican nominee, Jack Ciattarelli, in the November general election.

The general election will undoubtedly cover New Jersey issues, like the high cost of living and sky-high property taxes. It also sets up a test for the president, who waded into the contest on Ciattarelli's side.

She becomes the Democrats’ standard-bearer at a time when the state party is looking to win the governorship for a third straight term and the national party is looking for leadership and a message that resonates with voters.

⬛ NJ congresswoman indicted on federal charges

🔴 Federal grand jury indicts U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver
🔴 McIver charged with assaulting a federal officer
🔴 Congresswoman claims Trump administration 'trying to scare her'

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver was indicted Tuesday on federal charges alleging she assaulted and interfered with immigration officers outside a New Jersey detention center while Newark’s mayor was being arrested after he tried to join a congressional oversight visit at the facility.

Acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba announced the grand jury indictment in a post on X.

“While people are free to express their views for or against particular policies, they must not do so in a manner that endangers law enforcement and the communities those officers serve,” Habba said.

In a statement, McIver said the charges amounted to the Trump administration trying to scare her.

“The facts of this case will prove I was simply doing my job and will expose these proceedings for what they are: a brazen attempt at political intimidation,” she said.

McIver, a Democrat, was charged in a complaint by Habba last month with two assault charges stemming from the May 9 visit to Newark’s Delaney Hall — a 1,000-bed, privately owned facility that Immigration and Customs Enforcement uses as a detention center.
