Rep. Rob Menendez Faces Uphill Reelection Battle in 2024 as Father's Corruption Scandal Looms

Rep. Rob Menendez was elected to Congress in 2022 thanks largely to his father's name, Sen. Bob Menendez.

Sen. Menendez was recently indicted on corruption charges, threatening Rob's 2024 reelection prospects.

Rob is trying to stand by his father while avoiding being dragged down by the scandal.

Key NJ Democrats have abandoned the father but so far continue to support the son.

Rob's political future likely depends on support from Hudson County figures who see the Menendezes as separable.
