I’m so glad we’re finally getting rid of him in Jersey. Our governor and Schumer already called for his resignation. If only the party that claims to stand for law and order treated their convicted felons how we have.

Also, I love the person who is likely to win his seat. Andy Kim is truly remarkable and has been a phenomenal congressman and I know he’ll be equally amazing as our senator.

Good. Corruption needs to be prosecuted.

How did he get re-elected again after first corruption charges??? I assume it was because the Democratic Party wouldn’t run a different candidate…they need to do better.

Yeah, the party stood behind him and didn’t allow a viable primary challenge. It was typical NJ politics unfortunately, and he was well connected and had been in Washington a long time.
