Former President Donald Trump announced he is endorsing Christine Serrano Glassner in her bid to represent New Jersey in the U.S. Senate amid a heavily-watched race for the seat of incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez.
"She’s a fantastic woman," Trump said about Serrano Glassner, mayor of Mendham Borough, during a New Jersey rally on Saturday. "I’m giving her my complete and total endorsement."
His endorsement comes less than a month before the state is scheduled to hold its Republican Senate primary.
Trump also said Serrano Glassner's GOP opponent Curtis Bashaw is a supporter of New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie, whom Trump has clashed with on multiple occasions.

“Christine Serrano Glassner, a New Jersey mayor who has political ties to former President Donald Trump, on Monday announced her campaign for the Republican 2024 U.S. Senate nomination.
Serrano Glassner, the mayor of Mendham Borough in Morris County, hopes to challenge 18-year incumbent Democrat Bob Menendez, who’s facing his third federal investigation since entering the Senate in 2006.
“Senator Menendez has been in politics his entire life. He’s under investigation yet again,” Glassner says in a campaign kickoff video. ”New Jersey deserves someone with integrity, someone who will work hard to tackle the tough problems that are facing all of us. Someone who will put us first. Someone who cares more about our families — our New Jersey families — than his cronies.”
Republicans haven’t won a U.S. Senate election in New Jersey since 1972, though some state Democrats are nervous that the latest federal investigation, which involves probing how an Edgewater-based company got an exclusive government contract in Egypt to certify Halal meat, will endanger Menendez’s reelection prospects.
Menendez has said he intends to seek reelection, and most state Democrats appear to be backing him. That could change if he faces charges.
But Serrano Glassner’s ties to Trump could also be a political vulnerability in New Jersey, where Trump backlash helped Menendez coast to an 11-point victory over Republican Bob Hugin in 2018, even though Menendez had just survived a corruption trial after the jury deadlocked.
Serrano Glassner is a principal and co-founder of C&M Transcontinental, a public affairs firm. Her husband, Michael Glassner, is the firm’s president. Michael Glassner served as chief operating officer and deputy campaign manager for Trump from July 2015 until November 2020. He is currently leading a Trump legal defense fund, according to reports.
Menendez adviser Michael Soliman seized on the Trump ties in a statement.
“Here’s the thing that New Jersey’s voters will quickly learn — the mayor is a hardcore, unapologetic Trump supporter,” Soliman said. “Even after Trump pushed an insurrection, even after he bragged about helping to end Roe v. Wade and even after he cozies up to Vladimir Putin, mayor Serrano Glassner is all in on Trump. She is clearly out of touch with New Jerseyans. Bob Menendez knows New Jersey — his record of achievement and advocacy for our state is simply unmatched.”
Serrano Glassner was elected to the Mendham Borough council in 2016 and mayor in 2018. Mendham Borough, which has a population of about 5,000, is bordered on three sides by Mendham Township, which is home to former governor and 2024 Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie.
“As a fighter for New Jersey residents and businesses throughout my career in federal and state government and based on my experience as a mom and a mayor, I am ready to go to work,” Serrano Glassner said in a statement. “We need a leader to fight for the hardworking men and women of New Jersey — and for America. I am that leader, and I will defeat Bob Menendez and end his career of cronyism.””
Another piece of info, her husband, Michael Glassner worked for Sarah Pslin.

President Trump needs Christine Serrano Glassner in the Senate to help defeat the Marxist movement advanced by many of today’s far left Democrats.
On June 4 in New Jersey, voters have a chance to nominate the only pro-Trump candidate in the race for the U.S. Senate, Christine Serrano Glassner.— Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) May 12, 2024
He doesn’t sound like a bad candidate:

Some more on Michael Glassner, including his role in AIPAC as well as other lobbying, from his wikipedia page:
“In 1998, Glassner began working for the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, where he became the senior advisor and eventual Chief of Staff to then-Chairman Lewis Eisenberg. In 2001, he became Senior Vice President for External Affairs for IDT Corporation, where he oversaw government relations, communications, and investor relations.[7]
Glassner served as an advisor to the George W. Bush 2000 presidential campaign, and later as director of vice-presidential operations for the John McCain 2008 presidential campaign. In 2014, Glassner served as southwest regional political director of AIPAC.[8]
In 2015, Glassner was hired by the Trump campaign to serve as political director and was later named deputy campaign manager.[9] In January 2017, President-elect Donald Trump named Glassner as COO of the Donald Trump 2020 presidential campaign.[10]
On December 15, 2020, Trump appointed Glassner to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council.[11] Glassner has also served as a member of the Board of Directors for the American Red Cross of Northern New Jersey and the Board of Advisors for the Rutgers Business School – Newark and New Brunswick.[12]”

What part of Run, Sarah Run from Jim Robinson don’t you understand?
You hate that freerepublic.com is Pro- Sarah Palin. There is nothing you can do about it. The founder of this website supports Sarah Palin as the next President of the United States and there is nothing you can post that will change any minds.
You suck at you Sarah hate. ha ha

As usual Pissy - you are late with the story.

And you are talking out of your pissass in your lame weak efforts to slam Palin.
Pay close attention to the resume of Mr. Glassner (reply 1 and 2)
But what do you care if your facts are wrong? All you care about is posting any negative crap you can find.
Get a life.

He’s a small town family lawyer who was never tainted by public office. Anyone who was ever elected in New Jersey for any office is suspect to the disease imho.
I wasn’t addressing Palin at all—or Pissant’s views on her—but just the tidbit linking Glassner back to Dole.
There are of course stops with W, McCain, AIPAC, general lobbying, etc., along the way.
Sounds about right.
Just checked his social media. Jersey Justin is probably a nice nan. But this isn’t going to cut it.
