Gov. Phil Murphy (D-NJ) will have to appoint a replacement when Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) resigns from the Senate next month, but the governor’s wife, Tammy Murphy has said she would not take the spot.

Menendez put in his resignation notice on Tuesday, after being convicted on corruption charges by a federal court last week. He will leave the Senate effective Aug. 20. Tammy Murphy, who ran for the Senate seat earlier this year before dropping her bid prior to the Democratic primary, announced on Tuesday that she would not accept an appointment to the seat.
