As a growing list of Democratic senators called for his resignation over a growing list of sexual harassment allegations, Sen. Al Franken made an announcement … sort of.
It’s not clear why he’d wait to do what it’s obvious he needs to do, but there we are.
The list continues to grow, but senators calling for Franken’s resignation include Kirsten Gillibrand, Mazie Hirono, Claire McCaskill, Maggie Hassan, Kamala Harris, Patty Murray, Tammy Baldwin, Bob Casey, Sherrod Brown, Joe Donnelly, Debbie Stabenow, Heidi Heitkamp, and Ed Markey. Democratic National Committee chair Tom Perez has also called on Franken to step down, as has Republican Sen. Susan Collins.
