“I have no interest in being in the U.S. Senate,” Christie said in an interview on 'Meet the Press,' as Menendez faces growing calls to resign after he was charged with bribery.
"No, I have no interest in being in the United States Senate," Christie, who's running for the 2024 GOP nomination, told NBC News' Kristen Welker on"Meet the Press."
“I had a chance to appoint myself to the United States Senate" after the death of Sen. Frank Lautenberg in 2013, Christie said."If I didn’t appoint myself, the easiest way to get there, I sure as heck am not going to run for it.” Christie, a former federal prosecutor, commended the Justice Department for indicting the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee chair on what he described as"horrific" allegations.
Menendez and his wife were charged Friday with bribery over their alleged acceptance of “hundreds of thousands of dollars” in cash, gold bars and more in return for his influence to enrich three New Jersey businessmen and benefit the Egyptian government.
