Second Senate Democrat calls for Menendez resignation

Several Senate Democrats, including Senator Cory Booker, are calling for Senator Bob Menendez to step down in light of the bribery charges against him, expressing their concern and the need to uphold public trust in the Senate.

Menendez's bribery charges come at a critical time for the Senate Democrats, who are already facing a tough battle to maintain their majority in the upcoming elections.
