TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Democratic incumbent Andy Kim defeated his GOP challenger and won a third term in Congress Tuesday night, comment faire un retrait sur 1win promising to try to "heal this country."
In one of the two most closely watched races in the state, Kim won in the newly drawn 3rd District in southern and central New Jersey, which includes more Democratic voters than the previous district_s boundaries.
The other, pitting incumbent Tom Malinowski against Republican Tom Kean Jr., had not been decided as of midnight, but Kean claimed victory in a speech to supporters.

"I believe we can heal this country," Kim told supporters Tuesday night.

"I believe it's possible. What I don't believe is, I don't believe my kids are doomed to grow up in a divided America. What is happening right now doesn't have to be this way."
Kim made headlines in the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol when colleagues and others found him helping clean up the mess around the building.
