New Jersey’s GOP governor nominee, Jack Ciattarelli, on Wednesday broke with the Trump administration on two topics during the final gubernatorial debate before Election Day.

Ciattarelli said he disagrees with the president’s decision to support the completion of an almost-finished offshore wind farm project in the area surrounding the Garden State and criticized the leader’s recent statements linking pregnancy and use of Tylenol to autism in early childhood.

“I’m not real happy about the Empire wind farm off of Long Island. I hope that doesn’t lead to wind farms being approved off of New Jersey,” the former New Jersey state representative told The Hill in remarks made after Wednesday’s debate.

“They do need, not only state approval, but federal approval, as well. I’m very thankful he’s put a temporary halt on the wind farms off the Jersey Shore,” he added.

In May, the Trump administration lifted a stop-work order on the wind farm off the coast of Long Island after previously suggesting the Biden administration failed to properly review the project details.
