Andy Kim Sworn in Early as New Jersey's U.S. Senator

Andy Kim, a three-term congressmember, has been appointed to the U.S. Senate by New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, following the resignation of interim Senator George Helmy. Kim, who won his recent election by a nearly 10-point margin, will fill the seat vacated by Bob Menendez after his federal conviction. Known for his focus on ethics and a campaign that challenged New Jersey's traditional political structures, Kim's appointment marks a significant shift in the state's political landscape.
