2025 New Jersey governor's race: Democrat Mikie Sherrill flips Passaic County (42.7% Hispanic) plus 5 other counties

What a difference a year of presidential chaos makes!

From a 3-percentage-point margin of victory for Trump in 2024 to a 15-percentage point margin of victory of Sherrill in 2025.  That's quite a flip.

Population of Passaic (2024 estimated):  526,697.
