"Whether you're here for a day, or three months, four months, or 40 years, you're a United States Senator."

Sitting in Menendez's former office, Helmy also lamented the way the long-serving New Jersey senator's career came to an end.
"Bob's office was the office you always competed with," Helmy noted, referencing his own time with Booker and former Sen. Frank Lautenberg.
