Menendez faces avalanche of Democratic calls to step down ...Middle East

Sen. Robert Menendez’s (D-N.J.) vow to keep his seat ran into an avalanche of calls to resign from his own party on Tuesday. On Tuesday morning, only three Senate Democrats had called for Menendez to step down. By the end of the day that number had swelled to at least 20, creating trouble for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) in the process. Sen. Cory Booker, Menendez’s fellow New Jersey Democrat and longtime ally, broke his silence on Tuesday to call on him to step down, marking a major blow in the senior New Jersey senator’s quest to hold on after being indicted on federal bribery and corruption charges. Booker was a top defender of Menendez after his 2015 indictmen
