Conflict between Gov. Phil Murphy and South Jersey Democrats led by power broker George Norcross boiled over in public this week. Norcross called Murphy a politically incompetent liar who is despised within his own party and will likely face a primary challenge in two years. To break down what this means for legal marijuana, the budget and bad blood inside the state's Democratic party, Politico's New Jersey bureau chief Ryan Hutchins and Ben Dworkin, of Rowan University's Institute for Public Policy & Citizenship, join the show with News 12's Alex Zdan.
And to discuss Murphy's rejection of the White House ban on transgender service members, Jennifer Long of the board of the Transgender American Veterans Association stops by.
Watch NJ Power and Politics Friday at 9 p.m., Saturday at 10 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. and this Sunday at 12:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. on News 12 New Jersey.
