Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli huddled briefly with President Donald Trump in New Jersey on Friday night, stoking speculation as the former state lawmaker spars with a chief rival over Trump’s endorsement in the race.
Ciattarelli posed for a photo with Trump at the president’s Bedminster golf club and also had a sit-down with Trump and Elon Musk, two sources familiar with the meeting confirmed to the What Makes Jersey Run newsletter.
It was unclear what they spoke about, though an endorsement from Trump was not immediately expected.
