In the lead-up to Tuesday\u2019s gubernatorial election in New Jersey, some Democrats wondered if Mikie Sherrill<\/a> could pull off the improbable: winning three consecutive terms for the party for the first time since 1961.<\/p>\n

But Sherrill was confident she would emerge victorious<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sherrill said Wednesday in an interview with POLITICO\u2019s Dasha Burns on \u201cThe Conversation\u201d podcast that she \u201cnever really felt too nervous about my ability to win this one.\u201d<\/p>\n

As early voting got underway, it became clear that it was \u201cjust a matter of how much we’d win by,\u201d Sherrill said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe narrative was weird in the primary, and it was weird in the general, and I think some of that was because of how people felt from \u201924, that there was still this kind of hangover from \u201924 and how that race went,\u201d she told POLITICO.<\/p>\n

Still, the enthusiasm on the ground \u2014 especially at last month\u2019s nationwide \u201cNo Kings\u201d rallies<\/a> \u2014 convinced Sherrill that voters would deliver for her.<\/p>\n

Sherrill speculated that some observers underestimated her campaign<\/a> because it didn\u2019t follow the model of \u201cthe traditional Democratic campaign\u201d in New Jersey, where the legacy of machine politics looms large.<\/p>\n

“Because we built this a different way, I think it wasn’t as clear to people how we were doing it and how we were getting our votes out,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I think that probably made some people nervous, but I would say that we invested a lot of time, energy and resources in a statewide field program, the likes of which have never been seen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sherrill also said that her military background conveyed her “decisive\u201d leadership style to voters, who she said trust her to deliver on promises like bringing down energy costs.<\/p>\n

While she said she hasn\u2019t yet spoken to President Donald Trump, the governor-elect told POLITICO that she\u2019s intent on \u201cclawing back as many resources into the state of New Jersey as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m really hoping we can convince the administration, \u2018hey, if you want to have a comeback in this economy, this is where you start and this is how you do it,\u2019\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Despite striking a message comfortably to the right of New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani<\/a>, Sherrill said she and her Democratic peers who saw electoral success across the board Tuesday have one thing in common: \u201cThis desire to make change that things aren’t working for people.\u201d<\/p>\n
