Well, howdy there internet people, let's bow again. So today we are going to talk about

New Jersey and Senator Menendez and his replacement because that is something the governor has to consider now.

According to reporting, Senator Menendez is resigning, effective I believe August 20th. The governor in New Jersey

has the power to appoint a replacement to the United States Senate. Now there are a bunch of names being

tossed around one of which was an interesting development the governor's wife.

She ran in the primary to attempt to get Menendez a seat

and did not win.

Kim won. There was a brief moment in time where there was a lot of speculation

about her being appointed to basically babysit, be a caretaker for the seat until the next election.

So whoever takes the seat is going to have it until the very beginning of January.

My understanding is that she was basically like, yeah, thanks but no thanks.

I'm not doing that so at least according to the

rumor mill she has no interest in being a caretaker for that seat. There are other possibilities that are being

thrown around. There is a slight move to get the governor to just appoint Kim. Kim is favored to win the

seat and just get him up there early. What's interesting about that is that

Kim is kind of like you know there's a whole lot of considerations with that it It's the governor's call. I don't want to put any pressure,

you know, and seems to be very, uh, almost like he doesn't want the seat until he wins it.

That seems to be the position. I mean that's my read on it,

which is, I mean that's novel, that's cool, but it does leave a question as to who might end up in that seat.

One of the names being thrown around is the lieutenant governor and then there's just a list of other people.

If you're fed up of having to pay a fee every time you pay abroad, stop it!

Then you need Monzo.
