"As you can see today, we’re expanding the electoral map because … we’re going to win the state of New Jersey," Trump said. "I think we’re going to win them all. All across America, millions of people, so-called blue states, are joining our movement based on love, intelligence, and a thing called common sense."
Trump took aim at Biden’s economic and border policies.
"The Biden price hikes are continuing to drain over $1,000 from the typical New Jersey family budget every single month," Trump said, noting that the price of everything from hot dogs, to chicken, to gasoline and bacon, has gone up because of inflation.

"On day one, we will throw out Bidenomics, and we will reinstate MAGAnomics," he said. "And we’re going to bring manufacturing, tourism, and other industries back to New Jersey like we’ve never seen before."
Several times, Trump goaded the rowdy crowd.
"You look at the Afghanistan disaster, you look at the border, you look at the economy — the real economy, not the fake economy — everything [Democrats] touch turns to what?" Trump asked the crowd, prompting the crowd to shout: "S---!"

Trump's extraordinary legal woes, which include three other unrelated criminal cases, have emerged as a central issue in the campaign.
Wildwood is in New Jersey's 2nd District, which Van Drew has represented for three terms and covers all or part of six counties in southern New Jersey. It went for Trump in 2016 and again in 2020 after earlier backing Barack Obama.
