Franken resignation could upend Minnesota races

By Ben Kamisar - 12/06/17 04:08 PM EST 

Sen. Al Franken’s (D-Minn.) possible resignation on Thursday could set off a scramble among potential candidates to fill his seat while putting both Senate seats in the state up for reelection in 2018.

Franken’s Democratic colleagues rapidly pulled support from him on Wednesday, as more than half of the Senate Democratic caucus — led by a stream of successive statements seemingly coordinated by half a dozen female senators — called on Franken to resign in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations.

Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Thomas Perez joined that chorus, upping speculation that Franken will step aside on Thursday, when he’s slated to make an announcement.

Since DNC Perez has joined in, I believe this is all about placing Ellison the Muslim into that Senate seat.

Once He leaves, who’s next?

RetBobby wonders:
"Once He leaves, who’s next?"

Keith Ellison -- the first [openly] muslim Senator.

Would be interesting to hear him take the same oath the rest of us took in the military.
