New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy is set to appoint George Helmy, his former chief of staff, to the US Senate, according to a source familiar with the decision. Helmy will be stepping in to replace Democratic Senator Bob Menendez, who is resigning later this month following a conviction on federal corruption charges. An official announcement regarding Helmy's appointment is anticipated to be made later this week.
When contacted by CNN, Helmy mentioned that he has not yet received a formal call regarding the appointment. This move comes as a significant development in New Jersey's political landscape, with Helmy poised to take on the responsibilities of a US Senator.
