Franken says no final decision to resign, but Democratic sources expect he will

[boston bean]

In a short statement tonight, Sen. Al Franken's office is denying reports that he has made a final decision to resign his seat, however multiple Democratic sources in Washington and Minnesota tell ABC News that in an appearance tomorrow he is in fact expected to announce his resignation.

"No final decision has been made yet; he is still discussing with his family [and] still plans to give an announcement tomorrow," a spokesman in Sen. Franken's office told ABC News.

Maybe he won’t yet all dems call for it. Interesting.

1. Wouldn't that be a story?!

What if Senator Franken holds a press conference tomorrow where he says that he will not resign and demands to face his accusers?

Game on.

2. Same process Conyers went through.

On the same day "Silence Breakers" are recognized, I'm going to trust Al Franken to do the right thing.

Not accurate, @mpr @Stowydad. No final decision has been made and the Senator is still talking with his family. Please update your story.

I know that's what I'd do. The Party doesn't want me, fine, I don't work for them.
