Residents were ordered into travel lockdown during the visit

MIDDLETOWN, NJ – Neighborhoods in Middletown were on lockdown for two hours Saturday night, trapped in their homes and not allowed to use their cars, according to some residents, but New Jersey Governor raised $3.7 million at a swank fundraiser at his waterfront mansion.

That travel lockdown lasted from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Murphy described Biden as “America’s comeback kid” and said he is not at all concerned about the president’s cognitively deficient demeanor at Thursday night’s debate with former President Donald J. Trump.

During his speech to wealthy donors at the governor’s estate, Biden said he didn’t fell well Thursday night and did not know what happened on the debate stage, a statement that former President Trump has also noted.

“I don’t know what happened. I didn’t feel that great,” he told his wife Jill.

Mrs. Biden said, “Look, Joe, we are not going to let 90 minutes define the four years that you’ve been president.”

“This is personal for us,” Murphy told the audience.

A photo released by the governor’s office shows Phil Murphy escorting President Joe Biden on the tarmac. In that photo, multiple staffers are seen wearing COVID-19 style facemasks, while dignitaries, including the President, governor, and elected officials, went maskless, despite it being reported that Joe Biden has been ill since Thursday, suffering from a ‘cold.’
