“Andy Kim, a three-term congressmember who upended New Jersey’s political landscape in his quest for higher office, was appointed to the U.S. Senate Sunday. Kim, 42, takes office following the resignation of interim Sen. George Helmy, who had long said he would leave office once the results of the 2024 election were certified. He will fill the seat vacated by Bob Menendez this summer following his federal conviction. … Kim was elected last month over Republican Curtis Bashaw by just shy of a 10-point margin — a relatively narrow victory for a New Jersey Democrat compared to previous Senate races, but nearly four points above Kamala Harris’[s] closer-than-expected six point margin over President-elect Donald Trump.” (12/08/24)
