Embattled Sen. Al Franken will make an announcement Thursday, his office told reporters, as calls for the Minnesota Democrat's resignation rapidly gained momentum Wednesday in dramatic fashion.
Twenty-three Democratic senators -- twelve female and eleven male including the second-ranking Democrat in chamber -- called on Franken to resign as allegations of sexual harassment against him continue to mount. Republican Sen. Susan Collins also called on Franken to quit.

It is like dumping on Trump for not putting Mrs Bill in prison. She does US much more good as a political actor spreading ordure on the path of the Democrat Party.
No. The replacement will be Rebecca Otto or Tina Smith.
They must not like him very much.
And just about every other man in Congress is probably pretty nervous.
No way. It will be Rebecca Otto or Tina Smith.
Exactly. That is the ONLY reason they’re calling on him to resign.
I prefer he stay, Id hate to have Keith Ellison appointed to fill the seat. n election later would be better.
LOL
Where left is right and up is down . . . shouldn’t Trump and Moore be on the outs rather than Mr Vote Stealer?
Actually, that would be a great appointment. Install another stupid, race-baiting, affirmative action muslim and more normies will be waking up.
The worst thing that could happen is for AF to dig in and stay and then be used as a procedural example by the Senate voting to throw him out which would be, I believe, Constitutional. The Republicans would happily go along then it would all be turned against Moore and he would face being thrown out. I believe that is somewhere in the hopes and plans of the Progressives, whether they call themselves Democrats or Republicans.
NOTHING TO CELEBRATE.
Watch the plan play out - everything happens TOMORROW.
1. Franken resigns.
2. Another anti-Moore Bimbo pops up, with even stronger fake evidence.
3. Dems say “We took care of our own, now it’s YOUR TURN, Republicans, to do the same”
This is all to take down Moore and FLIP THE SENATE SEAT, and sadly way too many ‘Republicans’ will take the bait...but hopefully not enough to cost Moore the election.
The giveaway regarding this strategy is the SPEED at which the Dems responded to the latest Bimbo, and now the number of Democrats telling Moore to resign. They need the Democrats on record calling on Moore to quit...in order to have sufficient ‘credibility’ going after Moore.
If they’re smart, they’ll stay out of it. It’s an internal matter for the Dems at this point.
I’m betting Franken offers a big fat “I’m soul searching” ...
than AFTER the Alabama Election he’ll offer an ‘apology’ written by a professional speech writer
... that hits the right notes with focus groups...
... AND THEN the suck-ups in the press will accept Franken’s apology...
They’ll say, “Franken accepts full responsibility’... whatever the hell that stupid phrase means coming from the mouths of liberals... (I’m guessing it means “we’re all democrats here so you get a pass or something equally vile)
And the meme will die out...
“He will take one for the team.”
Agree. All part of the scheme to take out PDJT. I’ll bet the ‘Rats are happy that their abusers are from states securely blue so the pervs will be replaced with other ‘Rats. They lose nothing by shoving them out.
That isn’t how he’ll be portrayed to the sheeple, though.
If this many Dems have called for him to resign, they did not likely all do so independently. The Dem party must have decided to do this as a tactic. Look for Gloria Allred to produce anothers bunch of Trump accusers.
25 Senators up in 18’ Are they scared?
Massive posturing going on here by the demz. No Rs calling for his resignation? Perhaps it has been instructed that the all RINOs are to lock elbows upon the swearing in of one Judge Roy Moore and demand the same. Parity, it’s all about parity. F ‘em all. It will be the best moment by Senator Moore to impart a lesson regarding the rule of law and proof of guilt and tell Time’s # of the year to go to hell, I mean court, before ruining a person’s life.
If it means Ellison is his appointed replacement than this Minnesotan says keep the bastard there.
“Appointment or special election?”
Not sure. Maybe each state has its own rules for filling a temporary vacancy.
“Al, meet underside of bus. Underside of bus, meet Al. “
And watch out for the driveshaft and your tie. I understand that’s a bitch!
