I find it interesting that Senator Menendez is up for re-election in 2024 and on indictment for the second time. The Republicans are also having success in electing Hispanics to Congress. The USHouse shifted majority because of the Hispanic victories along the Texas border.
That said, Senator Menendez is not the wealthiest man in the Senate. He is still what I would call Upper Middle Class, however, there is potential for law breaking. At this point Democrats should feel free to primary him with someone who could win his seat and not lose it to a Republican that appears to have moderate to liberal values. After all the US House in its majority is still trying to coupe the government. The oppression of democracy is still very apparent in the Republican Party, especially with women’s rights.
But, Senator Menendez has survived these attacks before and may still do so with a victory in 2024. I would not underestimate his innocence until proven guilty. I think a primary challenge is appropriate though.
