New Jersey interim Senator George Helmy resigns early, paving way for Sen.-elect Andy Kim to take office.

New Jersey interim Senator George Helmy is resigning early to allow Sen.-elect Andy Kim to take office ahead of the new Congress session. Helmy, appointed after Bob Menendez's resignation due to a federal corruption conviction, served only two months. Kim, a Democrat who won against Republican Curtis Bashaw, will become the first Korean-American senator upon his swearing-in on Monday. Helmy's early departure aims to ensure a smooth transition for the democratically elected winner.
