New Jersey's gubernatorial candidates, Jack Ciattarelli (R) and Mikie Sherrill (D), clashed fiercely in their second debate. The discussion centered on their differing stances on President Trump, with Ciattarelli giving him an 'A' and Sherrill an 'F'. Personal controversies, including Sherrill's college record and Ciattarelli's past business dealings involving opioids, also dominated the heated exchanges. Both candidates proposed distinct solutions for affordability issues, particularly rising electricity bills, and surprisingly found common ground on the issue of not pumping one's own gas.
