Read our privacy policy The Democratic Party is divided on the issue of New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez’s resignation as he faces federal bribery charges. Several of New Jersey’s Democratic House members broke ranks with their Senate counterpart almost immediately, including Bill Pascrell, Josh Gottheimer, Tom Malinowski, Frank Pallone and Mikie Sherill. “In terms of resignation, that’s a decision to be made by Senator Menendez and the people of New Jersey,” he told CNN’s State of the Union. Mark Kelly, a freshman senator from Arizona, said that the issue would create a “cloud” over his colleague’s service but did not go as far as saying that Mr Menendez should quit.
