Sen. Bob Menendez Seeks Independent Re-election Amid Corruption Trial
TL;DR Summary
New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez, currently on trial for federal bribery charges, has filed to run for reelection as an independent candidate. Menendez, who has denied the charges, aims to bypass the Democratic primary and appear on the November ballot. His decision could impact the Democrats' narrow control of the Senate, with U.S. Rep. Andy Kim favored to win the Democratic primary. Menendez's previous federal trial in 2017 ended in a deadlocked jury.
