President Donald Trump will speak at a telephone rally late Friday on the eve of early voting in support of Republican candidate for New Jersey governor, Jack Ciattarelli, to boost the GOP's chances of defeating Democrat Mikie Sherrill and flipping the state next month.

Trump had previously endorsed Ciattarelli, who has embraced the support of the Republican president, given him an “A” grade for his performance in the White House, but has not campaigned alongside him. He said the president's team has offered “anything that you think can help the campaign.”
