Other headlines here lacked "in coming weeks".
This is the longest resignation in history? And it may not happen at all. 32 Dem Senator call for him to resign. "Immediately" seemed implied but no Democrats seem to mind he will resign when he wants to. I call BS

He’s lying. Too bad we cant take bets here on FR.
To: SMGFan
Franken is hanging around until after Moore is elected and is sworn in to the Senate.
He’ll play it as an issue and if he resigns he’ll say how noble he is to do so
but Moore has not ethics, etc. It’s politics as usual in today’s environment.

I read comments from others here earlier today saying about how it was typical, half assed nonsense from Franken. And that the speech he gave was a pretty pathetic one too.

And the MSM reports Franken resigns . As if this announcement cannot be retracted.
Headline should be he promises to resign someday. Where are the outraged #MEtoo women?

I think that he might try that. I also think that he will be forced to resign.

Can any woman in this country close her eyes to sleep and feel safe while Al Franken is still free?

He’s waiting to see if Moore wins. If he does, then Franken will say “My resignation will become effective the same day as Roy Moore’s.”
To: SMGFan
Anybody else also notice that he never said “I’m sorry...”...???
