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.

I support Al’s right to stay in the Senate. He stole that seat fair and square.

He has to step down to help with the overall goal of taking out Moore then Trump. He will take one for the team.

Poor, Al, he’s finding out that his colleagues were “fair weather” friends who never found him “funny” as a comedian at all. After all, if he can’t count on Susan Collins, what gives?

Believe me, if Minnesota had a Republican governor they wouldn’t be doing this. (I assume the governor appoints a replacement senator).

Two things going on here, the numbers keep mounting and the optics are getting worse. The main reason though is for a renewed push against Moore just before the election to try to cut his lead so that dirty tricks might be enough to swing it in their favor.

They are probably planning to replace him with a transgender Somali refugee.

His replacement will be Franken II regardless of what name the person uses.

They don’t do anything for free.

They’ll also call out for the resignation of Roy Moore and Donald Trump.

“Republican Sen. Susan Collins also called on Franken to quit”

So let’s call it 13 female Democrat senators.

How a guy who posed in baby diapers got elected to the US Senate in the first place beats me.

The preference cascade has begun, and the back benchers and cowards are piling on, when it was safe to do so.

Sorry Al, you’ve been trashed by the rest of your cowardly cohort.

LOL -- she's so used to voting with Dems that she couldn't help herself...

It is fun to watch the Democrats destroy themselves. Those who were all preachy about women's rights are now getting a taste of their own medicine.

For years and years, they have the party as a whole have provided cover for predators like Franken, Bill Clinton, etc. Good to see that they are finally being honest but I don't trust them.
