Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- More good news for Jack Ciattarelli: New polling data suggests that enthusiasm for his campaign to be the next governor of New Jersey is now at a whopping 91%! Meanwhile, Mikie Sherrill continues to baselessly accuse Ciattarelli of killing “tens of thousands of people” for work a marketing firm he once owned did on behalf of pharmaceutical companies. Ciattarelli’s campaign has sued her for defamation. 3:30pm- Democrat Gubernatorial Nominees See Their Lead Narrow: Polling shows the race between Ciattarelli and Sherrill is, as of now, anyone’s race. Virginia Democrat Abigail Spanberger has seen her massive lead over Republican Winsome Earle-Sears—which was at one point estimated to be as much as 17-points in May—now sits at 5 to 8-points, according to polling averages. 3:40pm- On Wednesday night, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) participated in a NewsNation town hall event where he called out his own party for refusing to pass a continuing resolution and, consequently, allowing the government to shut down. Fetterman also insisted that Democrats need to stop demonizing their political opponents: “I refuse to call people Nazis or fascists. I would never compare anybody, anybody to Hitler”—noting that the extremism embraced by members of his party is exactly what led to Donlad Trump winning every swing state in last year’s presidential election. “I refuse to follow that [extremism] even if it’s going to cost me support with parts of the base.” Are Democrats going to mount a primary challenge against Fetterman? 3:50pm- On Thursday, from the Oval Office, President Donald Trump announced his administration’s plans to help expand in vitro fertilization (IVF) access. Though he signed an executive order earlier this year, Trump is now issuing guidance encouraging employers to cover the procedure as part of their offered health insurance plans.

On X at Rich Zoli, 91% to 86% enthusiasm.

0:26.6

That is a big deal. It's a big deal. In 2021, Republicans didn't think he could win. So, 400,000 of them stayed home. In 2025, the people

going out to vote for him, 91% of the people feel enthusiastic about voting for him

0:42.0

versus 86% for Cheryl.

0:44.8

Now, that's only 5 percentage points, not that huge,

0:50.0

but you consider that in 2021, Jack lost by less than three percentage points, that 5% makes a huge difference in turnout.

1:03.9

It could make all the difference.

It could put him in the governor's mansion in drum, whack it, as it's called.

1:11.1

Because if Republicans believe he can win,

I've often said in politics, and in life, too, I think,

enthusiasm begets enthusiasm.

1:20.7

So if you're excited about something,

1:22.5

other people feel that excitement,

1:24.2

and then they get excited too.

1:26.2

And then that excitement becomes, well, the kind of thing

1:32.3

that leads to inevitability. In politics, we saw that with President Trump, and I think we're seeing

1:38.2

that with Jack in New Jersey as well, which is why Mikey Cheryl is going so incredibly low attacking Jack and accusing him of
