Democrat turned Republican 'seriously considering' challenge to embattled senator indicted on federal charges
Republican New Jersey Rep. Jeff Van Drew is "seriously considering" a challenge to Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez, who is running for re-election next year despite being indicted last week on federal bribery and corruption charges.
Fox News Digital confirmed late Tuesday that Van Drew, a former Democrat, is looking at a potential run, but in the meantime "is focused on the issues before Congress."
Van Drew was first elected as a Democrat representing New Jersey's 2nd Congressional District in 2018, but left the party and became a Republican in Dec. 2019, citing the first impeachment of former President Donald as the final straw after he had been mulling a switch for a while.
Prosecutors in the Southern District of New York unsealed the indictment on Friday, charging Menendez, his wife Nadine, and New Jersey businessmen Wael Hana, Jose Uribe and Fred Daibes with participating in a years-long bribery scheme.
At a press conference Monday, Menendez asserted he will be exonerated and will remain New Jersey's senior senator. ...

==============================
I hope Jeff Van Drew does run for Menendez seat. New Jersey almost went for a Republican governor last time so they may be getting sick of Democrat politicians .
Meanwhile Menendez is asking Joe for advice on how to get away with bribery. Joe advise him to hire Abbe Lowell.
