Minnesota Democratic Sen. Al Franken will speak from the Senate floor Thursday about his future in office following a raft of allegations he touched women inappropriately and dozens of his Democratic colleagues calling for him to step aside.
Franken's office said he is scheduled to speak at 11:45 a.m. ET.
"Senator Franken is talking with his family at this time and plans to make an announcement in D.C. tomorrow. Any reports of a final decision are inaccurate," read a tweet Wednesday from Franken's official Twitter account.

Actually, it won't matter from a practical standpoint. The Dem governor of Minnesota will appoint a Dem replacement of Franken.
But his resignation would be another lump of coal in the Democrats sack for Christmas.
