Weeks after surviving a narrow statewide election, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy acknowledged that Democrat Party support is waning because Americans are “sick of masks” and mandates.

When asked about his closer-than-expected victory over Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli, Murphy explained that New Jersey residents “feel like government is not connecting with them.”
