Phil Murphy Hints at Caretaker for Senate Seat

“Prominent New Jersey Democrats see Rep. Andy Kim as the obvious choice to replace Sen. Bob Menendez following his guilty verdicts Tuesday. But Gov. Phil Murphy would not say whether he would name Kim if — or when — the Senate seat opens up,” Politico reports. “Murphy said Tuesday he’ll choose a ‘temporary’ replacement for Menendez if he resigns or is expelled from the Senate following his conviction on all 16 counts in his corruption trial.”
