Several Democratic candidates in the contested gubernatorial race in New Jersey are openly supporting cryptocurrencies — a strategy that reflects President Donald Trump's 2025 plan and could signal a shift in the party's approach to digital assets.
Now, multiple Democratic candidates are openly supporting digital assets. They say that cryptocurrencies are the future and want New Jersey to be ready.
At least three of the six Democrats competing for the nomination in the June 10 primary — U.S. Representatives Mikie Sherrill, Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop, and Josh Gottheimer — have incorporated support for cryptocurrencies into their platforms. Sherrill, who currently leads some primary polls, said that embracing the industry is a pragmatic move for modern policymakers.
