So far, most who have taken sides have backed Menendez’s son, U.S. It’s enough to do some damage should he choose to use it. Still, Menendez has over $8.5 million in the bank. In 20 - the last two times New Jersey Democratic senators, including Menendez, were up for reelection in presidential years - they won by 20 points and 16 points, respectively. Look at the Rutgers-Eagleton poll released yesterday that showed Menendez’s favorable rating at 6 percent and his approval rating at 11 percent. But I don’t think they’re sweating it too much. This would be an unwelcome development for Democrats. Since the senator has little shot at winning the Democratic primary, this has led to speculation that the vengeful Menendez could run as an independent, despite telling reporters, “I’m not gonna jeopardize any seat in New Jersey under any circumstance.” It would only take 800 signatures to run as an independent. And he said Tammy Murphy will have to answer for the darkest parts of her husband’s record, like the veterans who died in state nursing homes during the pandemic.
The senator has said he knows “ where all the skeletons in closets are” following his home county party’s endorsement of Tammy Murphy’s Senate bid to replace him (It would have been nice if he told us before). Bob Menendez looks to me like he’s in burn-it-all-down mode. After losing Democratic support following his indictment, Sen.
