Washington is still reeling from Senator Al Franken's decision to resign. He made the announcement on the Senate floor yesterday amid allegations from numerous women that he had sexually harassed them. During his speech, Senator Franken cited the irony that he was stepping down while Roy Moore was still running for a place in the U.S. Senate with the president's full support.
