The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1:

3:05pm- Pork Roll or Taylor Ham…or Neither? During a recent interview, Mikie Sherrill—the Democratic nominee for Governor of New Jersey—declared that “nobody wants pork roll” and that it is “gross.” This is just another reminder that she’s a Virginia native!

3:30pm- Data from Emerson College Polling suggests that Jack Ciattarelli and Mikie Sherrill are tied 43% to 43% in their head-to-head gubernatorial matchup. Meanwhile, National Research—which is considered one of the country’s most accurate polling organizations, according to FiveThirtyEight—now has Ciattarelli running 1-point ahead of Sherrill. Republicans in NJ believe Ciattarelli can win, which should boost voter turnout. According to DecisionDeskHQ, Republicans have a mail-in ballot return rate of 18.61%—outpacing Democrats who are at 16.55%.

3:40pm- In response to the Trump Administration’s attempted crackdown on violent crime and illegal immigration in Chicago, Mayor Brandon Johnson outlandishly claimed “the extreme right in this country refuse to accept the results of the Civil War, they have repeatedly called for a rematch. But in the coming weeks, we will use this opportunity to build greater resistance.” Johnson also signed an executive order establishing “ICE-free zones.”
