Hey crazy idea, maybe if Menendez resigns we can get a NJ Senator who is actually liberal instead of just having the letter D next to his name

These days that there's no worry of a Republican winning a state-wide race, maybe.
TBH though I think you're going to find that it's pretty much impossible to be a senator and to the left of Cory Booker.
OTOH, two people essentially politically aligned with where Booker is now would be just fine. I wonder if Rush Holt, Jr. would be up for it? He's probably too old at this point.
But...there are senators to the left of Cory Booker. Quite a few, especially on foreign policy. He and Menendez are both unusually hawkish for Democrats, and that in no way aligns with the people they ostensibly represent
