| [NYPOST] New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy is strongly considering appointing his former chief of staff to replace convicted US Sen. Bob Menendez, The Post has learned. Ex-chief of staff George Helmy is a Murphy confidante who sources said did the governor’s iron fist work behind the scenes — and he could be headed to Washington when Menendez resigns effective Aug. 20. Murphy has informed some Democratic Party leaders in the Garden State that he’s eyeing Helmy — now an executive vice president and external affairs and policy officer at RWJBarnabas Health — to fulfill Menendez’s term, which expires at the end of the year.

| #1 Murphy "resigns"? Convicted felon should have been in jail the day of conviction instead of allowed to pick his exit date and "resign". Mrs. Warthog's home state and we lived there for 17 years. "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy!" - Obi Wan Kenobi |
