Democratic Senators Demand Resignation of Sen. Menendez Amid Bribery Indictment

Senator Cory Booker and over a dozen other Democratic senators are calling on Senator Bob Menendez to resign following his indictment on federal bribery charges. The senators, including Booker, expressed shock and concern over the corruption allegations against Menendez, with some stating that he should step down for the benefit of those he has served. Several House Democratic members from New Jersey, state elected officials, and county chairs have also called for Menendez's resignation. While Menendez has stepped aside as chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he has stated that he has no plans to quit the Senate.
