Ciattarelli, a contender in the 2025 governor’s race, shared several photos from the meeting on social media, posing alongside the former president.
The New Jersey Globe confirmed that the two "briefly sat down" during the visit—fueling speculation that Trump could endorse Ciattarelli in the upcoming GOP primary.
Elon Musk was also at the event, as seen here balancing utensils.
Ciattarelli was born in Somerville and raised in Raritan. He is a former State Assemblyman, entrepreneur, and father of four. A Seton Hall graduate with an MBA and a background as a Certified Public Accountant, Ciattarelli has founded two Main Street businesses in New Jersey and served at every level of government, including on the Raritan Borough Council and the Somerset County Freeholder Board, according to his campaign website.
Ciattarelli ran for governor in 2021, and has since remained an advocate for something he calls “common-sense solutions to kitchen table problems," his campaign site reads.
