House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries pivoted to attacking President Donald Trump when confronted over a recent report that New Jersey has thousands of registered illegal alien voters on its rolls and that hundreds of them voted in elections.
CNN's Dana Bash pressed Jeffries on "one of the most significant disclosures of non-citizen registration" during "State of the Union" on Sunday.
Democratic New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill disclosed the error last week, claiming the state discovered that a "serious software error" registered "roughly 6,600 [noncitizens]" as voters between June 2023 and June 2024. The governor's office also claimed "fewer than 400" of the thousands of registered illegal aliens voted. She blamed the error on the administration of her immediate predecessor, Democratic New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, and said the illegal voter registrations are being removed.
