WASHINGTON—Former Reps. Andy Kim (D-N.J.) and Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) were sworn into the Senate on Dec. 9.
The two lawmakers were sworn in by Vice President Kamala Harris, who serves as president of the Senate.
Kim was sworn in earlier than scheduled—giving him an advantage in terms of seniority that could lead to his chairing committees sooner than his freshmen colleagues.
