Well, since the FR echo chamber seems unanimous on this I’ll be the usual contrarian: Franken will be out of the Senate before the State of the Union speech.

One silver lining of Moore’s loss is that Franken loses that bargaining chip. And the Democrats will overplay their hand like they always do now, and will toss Franken under the bus in hopes of getting Trump. Franken backing down on his promise to resign will not be permitted. Besides, they’ll get a nice shiny new Democrat who maybe isn’t as big a jerk.

I agree with what you say, he needed Moore to win to keep his game going.
