Barbara Buono conceded the New Jersey gubernatorial race to sitting governor Chris Christie this evening. As polls had earlier predicted, Christie won a landslide victory, taking over 60 percent of the vote.
In her concession speech, Buono thanked her supporter, and then went on to attack the Democratic-party establishment, who she argued made a deal with Christie in order to “help themselves politically and financially.” (Over 50 New Jersey Democrats endorsed Christie and few offered public support for Buono.) “[We] withstood the onslaught of betrayal from our own political party,” Buono told her supporters.
