Franken Should Stay
Supporters for Franken apparently are upset with the resignation process. Many hoped that he would reconsider his decision to resign.
It was significant that more than half of Minnesota wanted him to remain in office. It was reported that Franken was very popular with voters.
He was set to leave Senate on the 2nd of January 2018. At least seven women accused Franken of sexual misconduct.
It certainly looked as though Franken’s relationship with his constituents was good. Another person who received large support from voters was Roy Moore. He too faced sexual misconduct allegations. He had lost his bid to opponent Doug Jones.
It might not be off the cards to see Franken change his mind. At this stage anything was possible. The support that he was getting could possibly change his mind.
Allegations of this nature are quite nerve wrenching though. It could take valiant effort after facing such allegations to continue like normal. This was hard for the women who faced such abuse to go on as normal.
It was unlikely that the accused would continue unscathed.
