Minnesota governor to name Franken’s replacement Wednesday

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton will name his pick to replace Sen. Al Franken on Wednesday.
Franken announced his resignation last week amid a growing cloud of sexual misconduct allegations. The second-term Democrat’s official resignation date has not yet been set.
