seat in the senate in the coming weeks, on a day he calls the worst of his career. he said he has never brought dishonor on the senate. responded, in some measure, to the calls from eight people who accused him of sexual misconduct, saying all people deserve to be heard, but saying he believes in some of those cases at least, the allegations were not true. in others, he remembers them differently. nevertheless, he is resigning because he says he cannot serve the people of minnesota while an ethics commun he went on in that speech to call out both president trump and republican senate candidate roy moore about also facing sexual misconduct allegations and denying them, noting the irony that he steps down and they remain in office. i want to go to our team, starting with senior congressional correspondent mary bruce on capitol hill. we heard the senator's explanation. somewhat defiant. not contrite. saying his career would be worth it. clearly, he wanted to stay in the senate. yesterday, after another allegation, from an anonymous source, it was simply impossible. the floodgates opened to his senate colleagues. mary: senator franken made it clear he does not feel his actions were at his resignation today, but what was also clear is that he has lost the support of his colleagues here. yesterday, we saw a tidal wave of his fellow democrats coming out and saying, enough is enough. he had to resign. it did come after the latest coming out against him. we saw a handful of women senators driving this, coming out in what appeared to be a coordinated push, saying he had to resign. and then we saw in less than 24 hours at least 49 senators who agreed with that, including the democratic leader, chuck schumer , who is incredibly close with al franken. it has been a difficult last 24 hours, pleading with him to do what he did here and step down. george: we will bring in our chief white house correspondent, john. al franken calling out the president.

senator al franken saying in the coming weeks he will step down, and he will resign as the senator from minnesota. this all coming amidst mounting allegations of sexual misconduct. he says that he denied those allegations. he says they simply are not true. he remembers the encounters very differently. franken also used his speech to call a president trump and roy moore, the republican u.s. senate candidate from alabama. take a listen. sen.or franken bank -- franken: i of all people am aware there is some irony in the fact that i am leaving while a man who has bragged on tape about his history of sexual assault sits in the oval office. and a man who has repeatedly prayed on young preyed on young girls campaigns for the senate with the full support of his party. ryan: this big announcement comes after dozens of franken's democratic colleagues called on him to step aside amidst mounting allegations. at least 32 democratic senators calling for his resignation, including senate minority leader chuck schumer. yesterday, another woman came forward, saying franken forcibly kissed her. she is now the eighth woman accusing the senator of acting inappropriately. the senate ethics committee began its investigation into the senator back in november. that is when a k abc radio anchor alleged franken groped and forcibly kissed her during a uso tour in 2006. again, franken said on the senate floor that his actions do not warrant his resignation, but he recognizes that he lost the respect of his colleagues. he also said he is very proud of the work he has done. he was first elected into the u.s. senate back in 2008. from the newsroom. ryan hughes, abc 7 news. adrianna: because senator franken is leaving his post for good, minnesota governor mark aitken will appoint
