Former Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) will be holding a press conference at 4 p.m. ET, reacting to today’s ruling by the Minnesota Supreme Court that Democratic comedian Al Franken is the winner of the 2008 Senate race.
The big question is whether Coleman will concede the race, or instead try to fight on at the U.S. Supreme Court. It’s been nearly six months since this Senate seat went vacant, stuck in the limbo of all this litigation. We could know today whether this is truly the end, or if instead this will keep on going.
Apparent Sen.-elect Al Franken (D-MN) will then give his own press conference at 5:15 p.m. ET.
