Donald Trump is hoping to turn New Jersey red this November as part of an overall strategy to redraw the battleground map. But can he?
Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee, has vowed to make several states, including New Jersey, won by President Obama in 2012 competitive this November through his appeal to working-class voters.
