The majority leader had previously held off on calling for Menendez to step down, despite acknowledging the seriousness of the charges. However, with a conviction being handed to the New Jersey senator by a jury of his peers, Schumer appears to be comfortable making the request.

Rep. Andy Kim, D-N.J., who is running for Menendez's Senate seat in November with the Democratic Party's nomination, also called for him to resign. "This is a sad and somber day for New Jersey and our country," he wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
