"...Collins' upstate New York district is overwhelmingly Republican and there is little doubt the GOP can keep control of that seat following his resignation.

Collins, who was able to win reelection last fall despite being under indictment, was charged in August 2018 with securities fraud, wire fraud and making false statements to FBI agents investigating the case...."

Sen. Menedez won in NJ with 54% of the vote after winning 62% in the primary despite being under indictment. He was eventually found not guilty of a crime, but should have been severely censored for unethical behavior.
