So who gets Frankens seat?

[mindfulNJ]

If he resigns tomorrow? I am sick to my stomach 😩

1. Me too nt

2. If he resigns

It won't matter. If they aren't GOPee approved, they're just an allegation away from being replaced.

4. "Our friends across the aisle"

They already got it.

5. Maybe Gillibrand and Shumer can tell us?

[flamingdem]

7. Shumer called him all day to ask him to resign

according to msnbc.

Plot to get Gillibrand's 2020 campaign going? To see her at a leader?

[delisen]

8. alas maybe so but I like to see a presidential candidate

with better character if it is true.

6. I heard that at least for now

it might be the MN Lieutenant Governor, Tina Smith

[pazzyanne]

9. a replacement for Frankin

Tina Smith is a promising politician, but she is not strong enough to replace Al Frankin. I live in Minnesota and I am also sick to my stomach. This is even worse that tRump being elected. One of the few people in Washington, DC who is standing up to the republicans. Disgusting!

[Bettie]

13. And that is why they wanted him gone

and given what happens every time, they knew they could count on his own party to end him.

10. Let's wait to see if he does before we start replacing the drapes.

[mindfulNJ]

11. I did say if

12. WTF is it with so many east coast usernames pushing him out?

I can think of at least 4 people with east coast states in their usernames that are like junkies searching for their next fix in ushering Franken out of office.

He is not your senator, your opinion does not matter unless you can vote in Minnesota.

[mindfulNJ]

14. If you are talking to me

I don’t want him to resign. I think he’s being railroaded and the Democrats are hopping right onto the train. I feel badly for Minnesotans tonight but you have to agree this impacts us all.

[sinkingfeeling]

15. You know, I don't care. I will be out of politics after 52 years of

campaigning and donating and being an activist. I will cancel plans for the march in DC in January.

[blueinredohio]

16. Not that many years in politics but that makes two of us I never believed in

punishing people without a trial. That's what this is and I don't have trust in my party anymore

17. I started out in Ohio in 1968.
