Minnesota Democrat Al Franken, facing fresh allegations of sexual misconduct and vanishing support from fellow Democrats, appears to be on the brink of resigningfrom the Senate.
A Democratic official who spoke to Franken and key aides told MPR News Franken will resign Thursday. He’s expected to make a speech from the Senate floor at 10:45 a.m. MPR News will carry live coverage on air and online.
Wow, a CNN story I can actually enjoy for a change. Ta Ta Al. The senate is getting an improvement today. Enough of hypocritical D’s that lecture tolerance, acceptance and women’s rights while exerting their power over them. Time to go.
