In a social media post, Trump praised Lakewood’s strong support during his 2024 presidential campaign, calling it “one of our biggest wins anywhere in the country.”

The president described New Jersey as “near and dear to my heart” and said Ciattarelli has his “complete and total endorsement.”


Key Points

  • Trump called on Orthodox Jewish voters in Lakewood to support Jack Ciattarelli
  • The x president said Ciattarelli would lower taxes and energy costs
  • Trump called New Jersey “a state near and dear to my heart”

Trump highlights Lakewood’s political influence

Lakewood, home to one of the largest Orthodox Jewish populations in the United States, has become a focal point in statewide elections due to its high voter turnout and bloc-style voting patterns. Trump noted the community’s overwhelming support in 2024, saying it played a significant role in his campaign’s success.

In his statement, Trump said he believes Ciattarelli will “cut taxes and tremendously reduce energy costs,” contrasting that with what he described as the policies of Ciattarelli’s Democratic opponent.

Ocean County remains key GOP stronghold

Ocean County has long been a Republican base in New Jersey politics, delivering some of the largest GOP margins in statewide contests.

Ciattarelli’s campaign has centered on affordability and cost-of-living issues, themes that have resonated across New Jersey’s suburban and shore communities. Trump’s endorsement adds momentum to the Republican effort in the final stretch of the race.
