Senate Democrats are allowing embattled Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., to answer the numerous calls for his resignation following his indictment on federal charges of bribery, fraud, and extortion.
More than half of Senate Democrats have demanded Menendez resign. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York did not. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate, called for Menendez to resign Wednesday, and Menendez’s colleague from New Jersey, Cory Booker, did the same Tuesday. “He’s asked to speak to the Democratic conference, I believe, tomorrow,” Warner said. “I’m going to grant him that courtesy, but I expect I’ll have much more to say afterwards.”
