Four Senate Democrats up for reelection in battleground states in 2024 have joined the growing list of officials calling on Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) to resign after he was indicted on federal bribery charges late last week.

Sens. Jon Tester (D-MT), Bob Casey (D-PA), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), and Jacky Rosen (D-NV) said Tuesday that Menendez should step down.

“The indictment spells out deeply troubling allegations against Senator Menendez that breach the American people’s trust and compromise his ability to effectively represent his constituents,” Baldwin said in a statement.

“While Senator Menendez enjoys the presumption of innocence until proven guilty and will have his day in court to defend himself, I believe it’s best for his constituents, the American people, and our national security for the Senator to step down.”

Tester, a red state Democrat up for reelection in 2024, also put out a statement shortly after Baldwin on Tuesday morning.

“I’ve read the detailed charges against Senator Menendez and find them deeply disturbing,” Tester said. “While he deserves a fair trial like every other American, I believe Senator Menendez should resign for the sake of the public’s faith in the U.S. Senate.”

Casey also weighed in on Tuesday morning in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

"While he is entitled to the presumption of innocence, serving in public office is a privilege that demands a higher standard of conduct. Senator Menendez should resign," Casey wrote.

"The well-documented political corruption charges are a violation of public trust, and Senator Menendez should resign," Rosen said in a statement. "While he is entitled to due process and a fair trial, this is a distraction that undermines the bipartisan work we need to do in the Senate for the American people."

All four Democrats represent competitive states in next year's Senate elections.

Menendez and his wife, Nadine, were accused of taking bribes of gold bars, cash, and a luxury car in exchange for aiding the government of Egypt and businessmen in New Jersey on Friday, according to a copy of the indictment. Investigators found $550,000 in cash and 13 gold bars during a search of his home in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, and a safety deposit box last year. Prosecutors also claim the senator and his wife allegedly “pressured” a U.S. agricultural official to protect an exclusive contract for a New Jersey businessman to be the exclusive purveyor of halal meat to Egypt.

The latest indictment comes about five years after Menendez faced a different set of corruption charges. A 2015 indictment ended in a mistrial in 2018 after a jury failed to reach a verdict on all counts. The prior charges were surrounding his relationship with a friend and Democratic donor after there were allegations Menendez used his Senate office to promote the donor’s interests.

Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Peter Welch (D-VT), and John Fetterman (D-PA) have also called on the New Jersey senator to resign.

Menendez continues to deny the allegations against him and said during a press conference on Monday that he plans to fight the charges.

Menendez was required to step down as the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, according to rules in the Senate Democratic Caucus. Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) will replace him as chairman.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said in a statement on Friday that Menendez "has a right to due process and a fair trial."
