Democratic New Jersey Congressman Andy Kim easily captured the Party nomination to succeed disgraced sitting Democratic Senator Bob Menendez who will run as an independent if he’s not convicted of the federal corruption charges he’s being tried for, accused of trying to rig the US imported halal meat market to favor an Egyptian company.
The race really wasn’t close, with the third-term Congressman being declared the winner by the Associated Press minutes after the polls closed. Kim came to national attention for his efforts to clean up the Capitol building after the January 6th Republican-led domestic terrorist attack on Congress.
