Bob Menendez, Convicted of a Bribery Scheme That Wouldn't Count as Pin Money for the Biden Crime Family, Will Resign from the Senate

This won't change the balance of power, because the super-loon governor of New Jersey, Phil Murphy, will just appoint an even more partisan and woke replacement.

Note that Democrats did not vote to eject Menendez, as the craven Republicans did with George Santos, whose "crimes" were a pittance compared to this venal animal's.

Bob Menendez to resign from Senate amid Democratic pressure after guilty verdict Democrat Sen Bob Menendez was found guilty on all 16 counts

Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., will resign from the Senate after significant pressure from Democrats to do so following a guilty verdict in his federal corruption case.

The New Jersey Democrat was found guilty on all 16 counts, which included charges of extortion, bribery, conspiracy, obstruction of justice, wire fraud, and acting as a foreign agent. The trial lasted nine weeks and the jury deliberated for three days before reaching a verdict.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., immediately called for Menendez's resignation, despite initially holding off from doing so after the charges were announced.

"In light of this guilty verdict, Senator Menendez must now do what is right for his constituents, the Senate, and our country, and resign," he said in a statement.

But you didn't vote to exclude him from the Senate. You wanted that (D) vote.

...

If Menendez did not take the recent advice of Democrats to resign following the verdict, some had threatened the route of expulsion from the Senate. But that would require a two-thirds majority vote in the chamber, which can be difficult to achieve among lawmakers.

I have for years and years been skipping past CNN stories in order to find stories by Fox News. I'm not going to do that anymore. As you can see from the above excuse-making -- claiming it would be too hard to expel Menendez (even with all Republicans voting in favor of it!) -- Fox News spins more for the Democrat Party than even CNN.

Done. Done.
