Resigning, effective in late August per rumors.

Anyone filing for the seat yet?

Temporary appt, I believe.

The seat is up for election in November.

Oddly enough, Menendez has filed as an independent and can run, so any loyal supporters could actually peel off Dem votes and give the Republican candidate a legit chance to win.

Wanted to find a GIF of this but couldn't do it. GTFO Menendez. Traitorous trash.

So he wasn't expelled? He's resigning?

Yes.

Dems told him to resign immediately after his conviction.

I imagine there was some "behind the scenes" stuff between Schumer and Menendez and this allows both sides some sense of victory.
Menendez would have been the first expulsion in over 100 years. IIRC.

He should have gone earlier, but it's nice to see that he got the memo. Maybe he and Donald can pen their memoirs together in federal prison.

I've heard donald was pretty upset when he heard menendez got gold bars for his grift.
