Up Close 10/20/24: Andy Kim, Curtis Bashaw make their case to fill Bob Menendez's Senate seat in NJ

NEW YORK (WABC) -- The 2024 Presidential Election is two weeks from Tuesday, and while that campaign consumes much of the airtime, there are so many other important races, like the U.S. Senate race in New Jersey for the seat formerly held by Democrat Bob Menendez.

In this edition of Up Close, Bill Ritter talks to the candidates for Menendez's seat, Democratic Congressman Andy Kim and Republican businessman Curtis Bashaw.

Kim has represented the 3rd Congressional District in New Jersey since 2019, and is now running for the U.S. Senate seat.

Meanwhile, Bashaw, a businessman, has spent his career in real estate and hospitality industries.

Bill also speaks with ABC News Deputy Political Director Averi Harper about where the presidential election stands between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.



Up Close airs Sunday mornings at 11:00 a.m. on Channel 7, WABC-TV in New York City.
