New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has made a decision regarding who will replace Sen. Bob Menendez after he resigns from his position next week following his bribery conviction in July.
Murphy selected his former cabinet chief, George Helmy, to fill up the seat for the remainder of Menendez's term. The embattled official said in July he will step down from his post on August 20. Helmy will be sworn in on September 9 when the Senate reconvenes after the summer recess.
