While New Jersey's #AD36 swung hard to the right on the Presidential level last year (Biden+14 to Trump+5), it doesn't seem like the Republicans are putting much effort into flipping it this year.
Both Democratic incumbents are proven overperformers.
RATING: Likely D
Last year, California's #AD36 flipped red on both the Presidential level and the State Assembly level. Nestled in Imperial/eastern Riverside Counties, this majority-Hispanic district swung from Biden+15 to Trump+1.
At the same time, Assembly Republicans flipped it by 4 points.
While Zohran Mamdani is a top contender for New York City Mayor now, he got his start in politics in the State Assembly.
Back in 2020, Mamdani (backed by the DSA) unseated Democratic incumbent Aravella Simotas in the primary, winning by just 400 votes in #AD36 (Astoria).
