Obama to stump for Democratic gubernatorial candidate in NJ
Actor, comedian and radio host Joe Piscopo weighs in on the Democrats’ chances to win offices in key states.
Former President Barack Obama announced Thursday that he would campaign in New Jersey and Virginia on behalf of the Democratic gubernatorial candidates ahead of next month’s election, which many have speculated could turn into a referendum on Donald Trump’s presidency.
Whether or not Obama’s decision to re-enter the political foray helps either candidate -- Democrat Phil Murphy who’s running against Republican Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno in New Jersey, and Democrat Ralph Northam in his campaign against Republican Ed Gillespie in Virginia -- remains to be seen.
“In New Jersey, we don’t care,” comedian Joe Piscopo told FOX Business’ Neil Cavuto “We’re not impressed with anybody. It doesn’t make any difference that the president is coming to town, nobody cares. With due respect to President Obama, by the way. He is a rockstar.”
