Fetterman Backs Expelling Menendez

“Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) on Thursday became the first senator to say he supports a vote to expel embattled Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) from the Senate over the federal bribery charges that have rocked Capitol Hill,” NBC News reports.

“Expelling a sitting senator is extremely rare, and it’s unlikely Fetterman would be able to secure the two-thirds majority of votes needed to force Menendez out of office. Unlike members of Menendez’s own party, Senate Republicans have not called on the senior senator from New Jersey to resign, saying he deserves to have his day in court.”
