Staff Reports
Democratic Senator Menendez from New Jersey is gearing up for a tough race ahead. According to reports, Menendez is working hard to gather signatures for his re-election campaign, even reaching out to his old campaign buddies for support. Despite facing a criminal trial, Menendez is forging ahead with managing his own race without a campaign staff.
The Senator recently announced that he would not enter the Democratic primary but left the door open for an independent Democratic re-election campaign if he is cleared of charges. This move keeps his options open for the future as the trial proceeds. Menendez’s presence on the ballot could potentially shake up the political landscape, making his Senate seat a target for the Republican Party.
