Bridget Bowman is a deputy editor for NBC's Political Unit.
TRENTON, N.J. — On Sunday evening, Democratic Rep. Andy Kim celebrated a decisive win at the Atlantic County Democratic Committee’s convention, giving him an advantageous position on the county’s ballot in the June 4 Senate primary. The next day, Kim took the witness stand here in federal court, fighting against that very ballot position. “It’s about what kind of democracy we want here in New Jersey,” Kim told NBC News after he testified Monday.
Jones has the sole power to decide which candidate is on the ballot line in Essex, but he said he surveyed the roughly two dozen municipal chairs in his county before endorsing the first lady. Kim said a number of county chairs who ultimately backed Murphy did not return his phone calls. After Murphy launched her run, Kim faced pressure to drop out. “I don’t want to go into specific names, but I had a number of people tell me that they think my chances are zero,” Kim said Sunday.
