"Growing Calls for Menendez's Resignation Amid Federal Indictment"

TL;DR Summary
New Jersey Senator Cory Booker has called on fellow Democratic Senator Bob Menendez to resign following his federal indictment on corruption-related offenses. Booker's decision to break from Menendez is a significant blow to the senator, who is already facing opposition from local leaders in his home state. Several other Senate Democrats, including Tammy Baldwin, Jon Tester, and Jacky Rosen, have also called for Menendez's resignation. Menendez and his wife are accused of accepting bribes in exchange for the senator's influence. Menendez has vowed to fight the charges and maintain his position as New Jersey's senior senator.
