Via Townhall:
Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton (DFL) will officially announce on Wednesday who he has picked to replace Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) who resigned (kind of) last week.
While Franken said he would be stepping down in the “coming weeks,” he has not yet said what his last day in office will be. (This has led to some speculation that he won’t be resigning at all.)
Regardless, Dayton issued a statement on Tuesday saying that the replacement will be announced during a press conference on Wednesday. Whoever is appointed will serve in Franken’s seat until the special election in November of 2018 for another replacement. The person appointed may run in that election, but that remains to be seen.
