Menendez ignores questions as he leaves court
A new poll released Thursday shows two-thirds of likely Garden State Democratic primary voters disapprove of the 69-year-old, who was indictedThe numbers for Menendez are even uglier when the survey, commissioned from Public Policy Polling by the liberal group End Citizens United/Let America Vote, put the incumbent up against declared and potential primary opponents.
In a three-way primary battle between Menendez, Kim and New Jersey first lady Tammy Murphy, Kim receives 42% support with Murphy far back on 19% and more than a third of respondents saying they aren’t sure who they’d support.“This poll makes it clear that I can win this race against Senator Menendez. We cannot jeopardize the Senate majority,” Kim
Menendez has insisted he will be vindicated when the case concludes and has refused to resign despite calls from dozens of Democrats for him to do so. However, he has not explicitly announced he will seek another Senate term. In return, the senator allegedly leveraged his political position to run interference in investigations concerning his wealthy friends, pass sensitive security information to agents of the Egyptian government, and surreptitiously lobby for the Arab state to receive US military aid. In Hana’s case, prosecutors say Menendez helped him secure a monopoly on certifying meat exports to Egypt as halal, then warned Agriculture Department officials to back off when they questioned the concession.
