While running for governor of New Jersey, Mikie Sherrill was criticized as “too careful” on the trail and equivocating on issues with “word salad” answers.

Few Democrats have said that about Sherrill in her first 100 days in office.

Elected in a landslide almost no polls predicted, Sherrill has positioned herself as a blue state check to the increasingly-unpopular President Donald Trump while picking fights with even her own party on affordability-related issues.
