Senator Bob Menendez has experienced a net negative in campaign contributions this cycle, with only about $16,000 in contributions and a larger amount in refunded contributions. His campaign fundraising has plummeted due to substantial legal fees totaling $2.3 million from his indictment on bribery and conspiracy charges. However, he still has over $6 million in the bank. The financial strain is expected to increase and may impact down-ballot campaigns and deplete his presidential campaign funds.
