Rep. Andy Kim – New Jersey Senate Race & Working in “World’s Worst Reality TV Show” | The Daily Show

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.

He was the Congressperson throwing out the trash on the night of January 6th, 2021! I hope he wins.

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he was actually able to pull off a few surprise wins at these conventions, so much so that first lady Tammy Murphy has withdrawn from the race.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!

This guy was cleaning up trash left in the capitol building on the night of Jan 6. He is really smart and decent and we need more of his kind serving.

Andy Kim seems exactly like the kind of people we need in government right now! I really hope we can find more people like him who actually want to serve the people.

I just put up my Andy Kim for senate sign on my lawn! Go blue! 💙

This guy says it all. His honesty is refreshing.

Rep. Kim is a true patriot. He makes me proud to be an American, and it makes me wish I could vote for him for senate.

I never felt beholden to the 2-party system, but Andy Kim always struck me as genuine... and I'm not too proud of NJ politicians, but seeing him cleaning up after January 6th to honor our country, he's got a soft spot in my heart from now on.

9:28 "What is the value of the American handshake right now?" That's heavy. Great perspective.

Andy Kim is the man that brought down the New Jersey machine

He nailed it. Some of his colleagues think they're social media influencers. They aren't governing

Nice to see ppl that run for their country & not for themselve. Plus have a sense of humor. 🥳🥳

6:24 yes. Public servants should leave their ego & ambition outside the door.🚪 love his perspective of humility w/public service rather than personal ego

This guy is a great example of how politicians Should be, act, talk etc. Hopefully he doesn't get corrupted. Great job so far Mr Kim. Keep up the great work.

this man doesn’t mince his words! refreshing

Andy Kim is so animated. His energy is higher than Ronny Chieng and Jordan Klepper and that's wild. It's like Ronny and Jordan needed a break and they thought, hey, let's bring on Andy Kim, he'll take over during the interview.

I only knew Rep. Kim from his votes in Congress. He's impressive, humor, humility, and speaking serious Truth. That moment around 9:16, where you could hear a pin drop.... He's going to bring that to the Senate. You guys make an awesome team, asking some great questions. TDS is gold! Thank you, Jon and everyone on the Team! 💜

I was very moved to see Andy Kim on 1/7/21 in the rotunda of the Capitol, cleaning up the mess left by the insurrectionists the day before.

Rep Kim is awesome 💯
