Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) in a statement:
“Stepping down is not an admission of guilt but an acknowledgment that holding public office often demands tremendous sacrifices at great personal cost. Senator Menendez has made these sacrifices in the past to serve. And in this case he must do so again. I believe stepping down is best for those Senator Menendez has spent his life serving.
”Earlier this morning, several vulnerable red-state Democratic senators also called on Menendez to step down.
