TL;DR Summary

Indicted Sen. Bob Menendez is reportedly considering running for re-election as an independent in November, facing 18 federal counts and alleged bribery charges. If he runs as a Democrat, he needs 1,000 signatures by March 25th, but as an independent, he would only need 800 by June 4th. Several Democrats have already filed to run for his seat, and Menendez's legal bills are mounting as his trial is scheduled to begin on May 6.
