New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and other top Garden State Democrats are calling on Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez to resign – a sign of how quickly the senator’s political support may erode after Friday’s shocking indictment on federal bribery charges.
“The alleged facts are so serious that they compromise the ability of Senator Menendez to effectively represent the people of our state,” Murphy, a Democrat, said in a statement.
Murphy would appoint a senator to replace Menendez should he resign. Menendez is up for reelection in 2024.
Menendez and his wife, Nadine Arslanian Menendez, are accused of accepting “hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes,” including gold, cash and a luxury vehicle in exchange for the senator’s influence.
Probably what he could do. Just switch parties become a Republican say the woke mob is after him and Republicans will vote in droves for him. Plus give Republicans the majority.
Best just to out him in 2024 regardless if he can be convicted our not. He will not resign lets just hope he don’t go traitor too.
The Senate can expel him with a 2/3 vote. Which they should do.
