Summary

Mikie Sherrill is being sworn in as New Jersey’s 57th governor today. Will this be a positive change for the state, or could it spell trouble?

She notes that while expectations for President Trump are often set low, he frequently manages to exceed them. Left-leaning media outlets, Liz argues, are scrutinizing Trump’s plans and methods, aiming to undermine him ahead of the midterm elections.
