U.S. Senator Bob Menendez will hold a press conference on Monday morning in Hudson County, where he grew up and where he launched his political career as a 20-year-old school board member, making his first public comments since his indictment on federal corruption charges on Friday.

Menendez is not expected to resign, but rather take a defiant stand against the allegations against him, the New Jersey Globe has learned. Indeed, he is expected to double-down and say he plans to seek re-election in 2024, even if he needs to run off the organization line.

That is consistent with Menendez’s two statements on Friday; the later one was made after Gov. Phil Murphy and a large group of Democratic party leaders and elected officials publicly called for his resignation.

“I’m not going anywhere,” he said.
