Quoting Durr in Politico: [0]

Durr said Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy’s coronavirus executive orders, vaccine and school mask, unemployment benefits snafus and a general distrust of the South Jersey Democratic machine that has dominated the region for years all contributed to his strong performance.

Sweeney, Durr said, “never challenged” Murphy during the pandemic.

  “You have the debacle of unemployment. The masking of the kids in school.
  You have Senator Sweeney trying to take away peoples’ medical freedom rights.
  I think the perfect storm was that he stepped into
  a pile of you-know-what and couldn’t get out of it because he didn’t
  know which way to turn. I just tapped into the right focus.”

I think many people, if they aren't exposed to it or live around it, underestimate the massive anger and frustration that exists towards the Covid restrictions and policies, and vaccine mandates.
