The South Jersey power broker has been Sweeney’s biggest backer.
“New Jersey is a moderate state,” Steve Sweeney said in an interview Monday. “I don’t think the state’s going to get more progressive.” | Matt Rourke/AP PhotoSteve Sweeney faced a fight back to power the moment an unknown trucker deposed him as Senate president in 2021.from his leading role in state politics, Sweeney’s challenge may be that much greater should he run for governor in 2025, several high-ranking Democrats said.
Other possible candidates who would be competing for Democratic Party support to secure the organizational “line” giving them preferred ballot positioning in each county include Reps.of Essex County. Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop announced his candidacy last month, gaining the support of Hudson County chair Anthony Vainieri. Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin of Middlesex County and Newark Mayor Ras Baraka are also widely seen as possible candidates.
Sweeney and Norcross, a friend since childhood, formed an effective and long-running political alliance that saw Sweeney lead the Senate for a record 12 years. But the stunning defeat of Sweeney and his two Assembly running mates in 2021 was “catastrophic” to the South Jersey political apparatus, Norcross said. It has raised questions ever since whether Sweeney could mount a successful gubernatorial run.
“New Jersey is a moderate state,” Sweeney said in an interview Monday. “I don’t think the state’s going to get more progressive.”
