Franken in D.C. telling colleagues he’ll join them soon.
Democrat Al Franken is in Washington D.C. again today. Politico is reporting that he's meeting with Senate leadership:
"I believe we are going to win the election contest, and after that, Sen. Coleman can choose to do what he wants," Franken said.
If Franken wins and Coleman appeals, it would land in the state Supreme Court.
If the state's high court rules "in our favor, then I imagine I'll be certified and it won't be very controversial that I'll be seated." He added: "We're not attempting to be seated before that."
Side note: A recent Supreme Court order said Franken won't be getting an election certificate until an expected appeal to the Minnesota Supreme Court is finished.
