Al Franken:

Don’t look away from MN. ICE is still wreaking havoc across the state - changing their tactics to deceive Minnesotans - pretending to be construction workers or folks delivering groceries. Still over 2,000 ICE agents in the state. They’re not going anywhere, your anger and outrage shouldn’t either.

But I suppose with two possible Senate vacancies in Minnesota, do you think he may consider running for the Senate again?

I don't reside in Minnesota--just curious.

Seems like by his absence from the Senate, he has paid the price for whatever sins he committed that caused him to resign his seat. Others who did far worse (look no further than the Felon) are still in office.

... he's retired from politics, other than editorializing on podcasts. I guess we have to accept it.

He moved back to New York a few years ago. Maybe he’ll run against Schumer in 28. Lol

It won't be long before no one knows who is whom in Minneapolis.
