New Jersey Democratic Rep. Andy Kim announced Saturday that he’ll run next year against Sen. Bob Menendez in the wake of the senator’s indictment and refusal to step down.
“After calls to resign, Senator Menendez said ‘I am not going anywhere.’ As a result, I feel compelled to run against him. Not something I expected to do, but NJ deserves better. We cannot jeopardize the Senate or compromise our integrity,” Kim posted on X, the platform previously known as Twitter.
Kim has been representing New Jersey’s 3rd Congressional District, which includes suburbs east of Trenton, since 2019. He won reelection last November by more than 10 percentage points.
Thanks. You’re accusing only the other side of being drunker than Cooter Brown on rot gut brandy.? To my mind, most of the rest are just better at “handling” (hiding) the intoxication of bling and bam (money and power). With apologies to a washed-up hip-hop artist, “…you can’t change the system from within, because the system changes you.”
Are there exceptions? Perhaps to some degree, but even that seems optimistic, some days.
