Sen. Bob Menendez announced he will not run for reelection in the Democratic primary for his Senate seat but didn't rule out an independent run.
“I am hopeful that my exoneration will take place this summer and allow me to pursue my candidacy as an independent Democrat in the general election,” Menendez said in a nine-minute
The senator touted his accomplishments during his Senate career, which began in 2006. He then mentions the federal indictment, which focuses on accusations he used his position to enrich himself and his wife. The New Jersey senator acknowledged the looming legal charges would put a damper on a potential campaign, in which he would be forced to compete in a crowded primary with Rep. Andy Kim and the state’s first lady, Tammy Murphy, vying for the nomination.
Earlier this month, New Jersey businessman Jose Uribe pleaded guilty to bribing the senator’s wife in exchange for his intervention in a state insurance fraud investigation.
