A running list of Democratic lawmakers calling for Al Franken's resignation

Updated

As more allegations of sexual misconduct aimed at Sen. Al Franken continue to emerge, Democratic senators and officials came out in droves on Wednesday calling for their party colleague's resignation.

A group of seven female Democratic leaders seemingly led the charge on Wednesday morning with a series of statements released in succession. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) was the first to publish a post on social media titled "Al Franken Should Resign."

"I have been shocked and disappointed to learn over the last few weeks that a colleague I am fond of personally has engaged in behavior towards women that is unacceptable," Gillibrand wrote. "Enough is enough. The women who have come forward are brave and I believe them."

An avalanche of statements followed, with over 20 Democratic senators now calling on the Minnesota senator to step aside.
