News about Andy Kim

Tammy Murphy, the First Lady of New Jersey, has halted her campaign for Senate after being charged with federal misconduct by Democratic Senator Robert Menendez. Murphy outlined her decision in a social media post, citing the possibility of a divisive and hostile campaign atmosphere, especially with the looming presence of Donald Trump in the forthcoming election. Murphy intends to prevent unnecessary expenditures in intra-party conflict by stepping back, prioritizing the greater national interest. Her resignation, I think, prepares the way for the emergence of U.S. Rep. Andy Kim, who is mounting a serious challenge, draws on his grassroots support against established political figures in New Jersey's unrecognizable political landscape.

According to Katie Brennan (top right), Tammy Murphy (left), the First Lady of New Jersey, is unsuitable for a senate seat after she refused to respond to reports of sexual harassment in 2018. Brennan said she was sexually assaulted by an aide to Tammy's husband, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy (bottom right). Despite reaching a $1 million deal with the state of New Jersey and Murphy's campaign, Brennan expressed disappointment with Tammy Murphy's response, or lack thereof.

When visiting Taiwan on Friday, Sen. Marsha Blackburn maintained that Taiwan is its own "country." In a meeting with Tai President Tsai Ing-wen on Friday, the Tennessee Republican first referred to Taiwan as a 'country.' In 2008, Blackburn recalled her first trip to Taiwan, where she had 'the opportunity to see some of your country firsthand.' On call with reporters, Blackburn, a member of the Armed Services Committee, was asked if her remarks were contrary to official US policy. 'I feel like Taiwan is a nation.' If Taiwan was not a country why would China be talking about reunification?' The Tennessee Republican asked defiantly.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn landed in Taipei, Taiwan, on board a US military aircraft, marking the fourth visit by a US lawmaker to the island nation in a matter of weeks. The step is likely to anger Beijing, who sees visits from US officials as confirmation of Taiwan's independence. Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican who serves on the Senate's Commerce and Armed Services Committees, was one of a number of Republican senators who supported House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's controversial Taiwan tour last month.
