Minnesota Lt. Gov. Tina Smith speaks in St. Paul, Minn., on Jan. 10, 2015. Smith is a possible replacement to fill U.S. Sen. Al Franken’s seat after he announced his resignation amid multiple sexual misconduct allegations on Dec. 7, 2017. His resignation means Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton, a fellow Democrat, will name a temporary replacement. The winner of a special election in November would serve through the end of Franken's term in January of 2021.
