Murphy Faces Jeers and Tough Questions in Final Debate

The two major-party candidates for governor in New Jersey held their second and final debate last night. Governor Phil Murphy was interrupted repeatedly by supporters of Republican challenger Jack Ciattarelli, who jeered and booed him throughout the one-hour event. 

Ciattarelli made several statements that represent a shift to the center, including support for a bill that would protect a woman's right to an abortion if the U.S. Supreme Court were to take it away.
