In reply to the discussion: Franken successor to be announced Wednesday [View all]Freethinker65
(10,009 posts)9. Senator Franken said he would step down in the coming weeks
Did Senator Franken ever give a specific date?
Trump always says thing are coming very soon or shortly and even on day one and many are still waiting.
Weeks could just mean less than months, or even years. Wishful thinking on my part.

Not sure that once Franken's replacement is named, Mitch'll allow F's vote to count.

This is so wrong. So sad. I read it'll be his assistant. Whoever it is, it'll be a woman. nt
