Geraldo Rivera Is Not the Only One Eyeing New Jersey Senate Race
Who's running and who has an opinion? A look at the New Jersey Senate race.
abcnews.comGeraldo Rivera’s party affiliation has been reported as fluid over the years. Most recently, he has described himself as a Republican in the past, but there are credible reports and statements indicating he has supported candidates from outside the GOP and even endorsed Democratic figures at times. For the latest, he has publicly aligned with or criticized various party positions depending on the moment, so there isn’t a single, fixed label that has stayed consistent across all recent years.
Key points to keep in mind:
- Rivera publicly identified as a Republican in 2013, and has described himself as a moderate Republican at times.[1][7]
- He has shown support for candidates across party lines, including endorsements that diverge from strict GOP lines, and has criticized Donald Trump on several occasions.[3][1]
- Coverage over the years notes shifts in his stated political alignment and endorsements, rather than a permanent, unchanging designation.[9][1]
