WASHINGTON (AP) — "Many of you have jobs, many of you have families," Sen. Al Franken told Democratic leaders gathered on the eve of a hotly contested governor's election in Virginia. Now, Franken's rising trajectory has been interrupted by allegations he had physical contact with four women without their permission. In withering interrogations in the Senate, Franken has clashed with a parade of Trump Cabinet appointees. "He made those guys sweat," former Senate Democratic aide Jim Manley said. In a lighter exchange, Perry told Franken he enjoyed meeting him at the senator's office, saying, "I hope you are as much fun on that dais as you were on your couch."
