Democratic Congressman Andy Kim of New Jersey, who is running for Senate this year, has expressed his stance on the issue of Senator Menendez's indictments. Congressman Kim highlighted that Menendez's refusal to step down prompted him to enter the race for Senate.
When questioned about the lack of support from Senate Democrats calling for Menendez's resignation, Kim pointed out the delicate balance of power in Congress. With both parties holding razor-thin majorities in the Senate and House of Representatives, the focus remains on advancing the country's agenda.
Despite the practical considerations, Kim emphasized his call for Senator Menendez to step down and even supported the idea of expulsion if necessary. He underscored the importance of providing the people of New Jersey with a choice in the upcoming election.
Kim's decision to challenge Menendez for the Senate seat reflects his commitment to serving the interests of New Jersey residents. By offering voters an alternative, Kim aims to ensure that the state is represented effectively in Congress.
