If Al Franken were to resign—and Tweeden's accusations seem highly credible— Minnesota Gov. Dayton (D) would appoint an interim replacement. Then there'd be a special election as part of next's November midterms to fill out the remainder of Franken's term, which ends in 2020.

So it wouldn't surprise me to see Schumer look to push Franken out, since Democrats will probably hold the seat anyway through 2020. Democrats have a pretty deep bench in Minnesota and would be favored to win that 2018 special election.
