Rep. Andy Kim (D-NJ) won his third straight Democratic county convention and overcame an attempted last-minute rule change in his bid to win the Democratic nomination for Senate in New Jersey.

Kim defeated New Jersey first lady Tammy Murphy at the Hunterdon County convention, 120-64, and weathered an attempt by the county chairwoman to change the threshold for endorsing candidates.
