Senator Andy Kim, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing New Jersey's 3rd district, has expressed concern over several policies by former President Donald Trump. Senator Kim's remarks focus on the implications of these policies on American society.

We should be doing all we can to make this hope come true, not rip it away."

In another post on the same day, he criticized Speaker Johnson's support for Trump's policies, arguing that they are detrimental to the economy. He stated, "Speaker Johnson wants to give Trump 'runway' as his tariffs sabotage our economy. NJ small businesses don't have 'runway' to give. Like many small businesses and families across this country they will suffer while Republican leaders in Congress give President Trump 'runway.'"

Senator Kim also highlighted concerns over public libraries, emphasizing their critical role for communities in New Jersey. He remarked, "Public libraries are lifelines for so many across New Jersey. They provide a welcoming and safe space for kids, families, and communities to learn. Trump's decision to take away this grant money will force libraries across the country to cut programs and shutter doors, leaving"
