28. Right? Murphy said he doesn't want it to look like he's "putting his thumb on the scale."

What's more, if he appoints Kim now, it gives Kim months of seniority to other senators in his incoming class, which gives him seniority on committees, as noted in that article I gave you. So he would be better able to serve the people of NJ.

There's a REASON NJ voted in a Democratic governor for Pete's sake! Come on Murphy!
