00:00 Sorry. Um, you know, tomorrow, many members will travel for the funeral of
00:04 the late Don Payne. I'm looking forward with that seat. Do you have any intel
00:09 on when that seat might be filled? Is that looking to be next Congress? And
00:12 you imagine a representative will be elected between now and November? Yeah,
00:16 we haven't had those conversations because we're still in the process of
00:19 both mourning the loss of a great member of Congress and a classmate of
00:25 mine, Representative Donald Payne Jr as well as celebrating his life, which has
00:34 been done throughout the week in different ways, including on the House
00:38 floor yesterday in a special order hour led by the Congressional Black Caucus
00:44 and the leadership of Assistant Democratic Leader Joe Neguse.
00:51 Representative Payne Jr will lie in state today at the Essex County
00:57 Courthouse,
00:58 and then dozens of members are going to travel to Newark, New Jersey tomorrow
01:05 morning
01:06 to pay our honor and respect to Representative Payne. Until that
01:13 happens, we've given zero thought
01:16 to what comes next
01:20 in the 10th Congressional District of New Jersey.
