 Call 45 on WTOP. Thanks for joining us. I'm Mark Lewis. The calls for New Jersey Democrat Bob Menendez to resign or get kicked out of office are growing today. The veteran politician is not budging so far and says he'll appeal his conviction on bribery. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, along with Cory Booker, New Jersey's other senator, have called on Menendez to resign. In fact, more than half of the Senate Democratic Caucus has echoed those calls.
