   There is much talk that New Jersey might one day flip from blue   
   to red — particularly after Rep. Jefferson Van Drew, a New   
   Jersey Democrat, left his party in December and became a   
   Republican. President Trump personally welcomed him to the White   
   House.   
      
   Mr. Van Drew reports that 100,000 people are now seeking tickets   
   to one of Mr. Trump’s signature Keep America Great rallies, to   
   be staged in Wildwood, New Jersey, on Jan. 28 in a venue that   
   only seats about 7,500. The last time a president visited the   
   area was in 1891, when Benjamin Harrison came to call.   
      
   Interest in the rally has proved to be a record-breaker for the   
   Trump campaign.   
      
   “It’s exciting. And I’m proud to say for this event — of all the   
   events President Trump has done — we’ve had the most ticket   
   requests,” Mr. Van Drew told Fox News.   
      
   Other details reflect some shifting political sands in the   
   state. New Jersey Women for Trump — a grassroots interest group   
   — recently went from a handful of interested organizers to over   
   15,000 members in a matter of weeks.   
      
   “We are an independent support group for women and men who feel   
   they are alone in their beliefs towards our president. Our goal   
   is to tap into the silent majority of New Jersey women and men   
   and let them know that they are not alone in their support of   
   our president,” the organization noted in a mission statement.   
      
   Mr. Van Drew, meanwhile, will be on the stage with the president   
   when the time comes later this month.   
      
   “Obviously this is a political function, there’s no question   
   about that,” Wildwood Mayor Ernie Troiano Jr. told the Cape May   
   Herald, a local news organization.   
      
   “Trump brings out many emotions from people. His supporters are   
   very passionate, and the folks that dislike him are very   
   passionate. There are going to be a lot of emotions running wild   
   on the 28th,” the mayor predicted.
