Later that same day, Kim expressed appreciation for the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies (APAICS), writing on December 3, 2025: “Thank you to @APAICS for hosting a powerful year-end briefing.

On December 5, 2025, Kim responded to reports of antisemitism at a house of worship: “This is absolutely reprehensible. Antisemitism has no place in America & no one should stand by as people are intimidated at a house of worship. I stand with and am praying for our Jewish community.
