New Jersey’s interim Senator George Helmy announces his resignation to allow Senator-elect Andy Kim to assume office early, reinforcing a smooth transition for the newly-elected leader.
Democratic Governor Phil Murphy emphasized the importance of having the democratically chosen winner in office as soon as possible, ensuring that the transition into Congress next month would be seamless.
Andy Kim, having defeated his opponent Curtis Bashaw, will make history as the first Korean-American senator, marking a significant milestone in representation within the U.S. Senate.
Helmy, who previously served as Murphy's chief of staff, highlighted his achievements in office, including confirming judicial nominations and addressing numerous constituent issues during his brief term.
