 Fetterman becomes first Democratic senator to demand Bob Menendez resign over corruption charges

Worried about their slim majority, Democratic leaders in the Senate have thus far resisted joining the chorus — including members of their own party — demanding that New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez step aside over allegations that he corruptly served the interests of a foreign power.

But on Saturday, John Fetterman, the US senator from Pennsylvania, broke with other Democrats in the upper chamber just as one of his colleagues in the House, New Jersey Rep. Andy Kim, announced he was directly challenging Menendez for his seat.

"Senator Menendez should resign," Fetterman wrote in a post on social media. "He's entitled to the presumption of innocence, but he cannot continue to wield influence over national policy, especially given the serious and specific nature of the allegations."

"I hope he chooses an honorable exit and focuses on his trial," Fetterman added.
