The Moderate Party is a minor third party in New Jersey founded by centrist former members of the Republican Party, on the grounds that the party has shifted too far right following the election of Donald Trump in 2016 and the storming of the Capitol on January 6.[1][2][3][4] The party also seeks to attract moderate Democrats who are unsatisfied with the party's shift to the left.[5][6]
