. >> greetings from asbury park. thank you all so much for sticking around. we are going to have to wait a little while longer than we had hoped. we are going to wait for every vote to be counted and that's how our democracy works. for almost four years now, our focus has not spent on trying t do more for the already have much, but to do much for those in the middle and at the bottom so that they have more opportunity. our cause has not been looking out for people gathered around corporate board table, but for the camp family gathered around the kitchen table like maureen growing up. our mission has been simple to build a state where every child regardless of race or gender, creed or zip code has the opportunity to live out their hopes and achieve their america dream. these are the values we have pu to work. we are leading with compassion and empathy, not anger and despair. we are following science and facts, not the political whims. we may not always agree, but when we disagree, we sit down and we treat each other with respect in understanding, alway seeking

eric shawn's live from the headquarters in asbury park, hi, eric. >> hi, martha, good evening.t of anticipated but jack jenna relayed to keep up a winning streak and that is incumbent new jersey governor a second term. it hasn't been since jimmy carter was president that incumbent democratic governor of the state has won the statehouse twice. he is a former new jersey simulant and running for the governorship for two years now. he has been focusing on the perennial issue in the state, high tech texas. the highest including the highest property tax. he has been really aiming at the incumbent governor murphy on that issue as well as social issues. he said governor murphy is too liberal for the state. for his part, murphy said that he is too extreme even though his rhetoric has been as a moderate republican. however, murphy did win the state by 14% two years ago for president biden won by 16% and there is an edge of 1 million democratic voters of republicans. let's take a look at some of the history or the last democratic governor to reclaim the state happen in 1977 when brandon b

governor phil murphy's election headquarters in the famous asbury park.s campaign headquarters tonight? >> reporter: well, jake, essentially what phil murphy is doing as he tries to get re-elected for another term, they are making the bet that the people in new jersey are going to grade him based on how things look in new jersey as opposed to focusing on the events that are happening in washington. this sort of underscores the political reality right now as you know very well that the governor of new jersey is more popular right now in his state than the leader of the democratic party, president biden. he enjoys support from the majority of voters in new jersey, whereas president biden -- he has seen his popularity slip into negative territory, recently. and this is really important to think about. what is happening in washington. something that joe biden came actually to new jersey to try to sell his ideas on the infrastructure spending bill. the sweeping economic package. obviously, he ended up being unsuccessful before he left for his foreign trip. but

vote for you about the future when i ran for election in 2013, i was running on the boardwalk if asbury park. voters said, why should i work for you? i said, we rebuilt this in five months, the guy said that's what i got for voting for you last time what do i get for voting foryo next time? voters want to hear about your vision for the future and our party's got to get away from the grievances an vendettas in the past the policies that we put in when trump was president and the grievances as governors. >> i wonderer who the standard bearer will be you intimated you might throw your hat in the ring for 2024. do you have? you do that whether former president trump is nominated, runs again either way you think that you'd go for it >> yeah, if i decide to run, i won't defer to any candidate i don't believe anybody that believes they are qualified to be president and have a chance to win, something important for the country should defer to any candidate. if you believe are you good enough to be president of the united states, i think it's disqualifying if you say, but i'll defer if so-and-so wins

lee, at phil murphy's headquarters in asbury park, new jersey.ot how murphy's team thought it would go down, right? >> that's right, don. the murphy team is not trying to sugar-coat the fact that this is not the evening they had hoped for. this is a tougher night than what they were hoping to see. at the end of the night, this is what advisers are telling me. they expect still that the governor is going to pull it out. the numbers will ultimately flip. and here's the thinking behind that, don. the thinking is that the campaign right now feels like they have a good grasp of where the outstanding votes are. they know where the votes that haven't been counted are coming from. and at the end of the day, they think the votes will be breaking for them. that's why they have confidence, for now, this race is going to break for the governor. the big question that they don't know the answer to, that they don't have a great sense of, is when that race might flip, when the numbers might flip. behind me, the election night party, what was -- what they were ho
