It didn’t happen in Arizona, but the switcheroo in New Jersey provides hope that even democrats have had enough of Joe’s devastating Bidenflation, China-enabling, memory lapses, wobbly falsehoods and outright fabrications. Having Joe Biden hanging on to their coattails has become too reprehensible even for former Biden supporters. They still have to face themselves in the mirror and their constituents as the next election cycle approaches.

Morris County GOP Chair Laura Marie Ali credited Hanover Mayor Ace Gallagher for convincing the East Hanover officials to switch parties.
“The entire Republican Party in Morris County is welcoming Mayor Pannullo and East Hanover’s four Council members to our family with open arms and great excitement,” Ali said. “East Hanover is an exceptionally run town with great leadership. It is clear we share the same values as Mayor Pannullo and his Council and we are so excited to have them be part of our Republican family.”
The East Hanover Republican municipal chair, former Councilwoman Sue Tietjen, also welcomed the new Republican officeholders.
“We will work together moving East Hanover forward,” she said.
This change comes on the heels of an ABC News report titled, “Biden faces doubt from some voters who backed Dems in 2022.” It’s far worse treading on thin ice when you know it.
The unusual move makes sense from the perspective of East Hanover’s 11,105 residents. Although democrats have long dominated the local government, in recent state and national elections the town has overwhelmingly supported Republicans, including voting for former President Donald Trump by 66 percent in 2020.
