  • “I’m not going to let other people determine what I am or am not capable of accomplishing, simply because of the color of my skin and my last name.” Rep. Andy Kim, of New Jersey’s 3rd District, chats with Ronny Chieng and Jordan Klepper about his Senate run and Asian-American representation in politics, why working in Congress feels like “the world’s worst reality TV show,” and how America can solidify its role in the 21st century amidst growing neo-isolationism. #DailyShow #AndyKim #Senate

    Andy Kim worked at the U.S. State Department, served in Afghanistan as a civilian adviser to Generals David Petraeus and John R. Allen before working as a national security adviser under President Barack Obama, and served as a United States National Security Council official before representing NJ-3. A true American statesman.

    The huge impact Andy Kim's campaign has _already_ had they didn't mention here is that he single-handedly brought down New Jersey's bizarre, arcane party machine system of picking nominees, in which preferential spots on the primary ballot (e.g. being listed on the same party-endorsed "ticket" as Biden) were decided at conventions dominated by obscure party bosses. He was running against the literal first lady of the state with all the political connections she has to these party officials, and through mobilizing enough people who were sick of this convoluted process (which of course is conducive to all kinds of corruption), he was actually able to pull off a few surprise wins at these conventions, so much so that first lady Tammy Murphy has withdrawn from the race. Can't wait to see what he does as senator!
