I’d say his seat a safe Democratic one….
Democratic U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey will kick off his re-election bid for a third term Wednesday, just two months after federal prosecutors dropped corruption charges against him.
The 64-year-old Democrat announced Tuesday will hold events in his hometown of Union City, where he was once mayor, and in southern New Jersey. He’ll be joined by other top Democrats including fellow Sen. Cory Booker and Gov. Phil Murphy.
Menendez was charged in 2015 with trading his political influence for gifts and campaign donations from a friend. His trial ended in a hung jury last fall, and in January prosecutors decided not to retry him.

Menendez isn’t safe. The guy is corrupt.
He will be re-elected
He might not even get renominated
Ask around the Jersey Democrats you meet Z….
I found this Z…..
McConnell and Flake’s numbers are WORST than Menenedez

Why’ Fo you know more NJ Democrats than me? I very much doubt it
Who WOULD run against the sitting US Senator who is running for a third term in a NOW Democratic state?
Who is running against Menendez in the Democratic primary?
I’d definitely support a Democratic challenger if I lived in NJ.
To the best of my knowledge, nobody as of today.
A Democratic activist was running, but he recently dropped out
I rest my case…
It certainly appears that if anybody is going to deny Bob Menendez another term in New Jersey, it will have to be a Republican nominee. I wonder if that will be an option for staunch Democrat voters there…

“I asked the question this morning, ‘Where would we be without Bob Menendez?’” New Jersey’s governor asked Wednesday.
Hey Z?…..
A new Monmouth poll in New Jersey finds Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) with a sizable advantage over Bob Hugin (R) in the 2018 race for U.S. Senate, 53% to 32%.
“Menendez starts out the campaign with weak approval ratings in part due to fallout from his recent corruption trial. But these negatives are more than offset by the fact he has a ‘D’ next to his name. Hugin, on the other hand, is known to few New Jersey voters at this stage of the race.”
Hillary once had a large lead too! Menendez isn’t safe.
9 months out he is….
And it’s a Democratic state….
I think Lt Gov. Kathy Polito (R) came close to succeeding Gov. Chris Christie last November.
Christie’s Lt. Gov was Kim Guadagno – and she really did not come that close to winning the Gov race. Of course, being associated with Christie didn’t help.
I assume you confused her with Karyn Polito – who is/was the MA Lt. Gov..
Z’s correct on Jersey….
While I still believe Jersey Senator will win re-election….
These numbers should give Democrats a pause….
