[Q]: His  once-promising political career in shambles   Minnesota Sen. Al Franken  appeared on the verge of resigning after fellow Democrats led by female senators abandoned  him  Wednesday over the mounting allegations of sexual misconduct that are roiling Capitol Hill.
Gillibrand was the first to call for  Franken 's resignation on Wednesday  but a torrent of Democrats quickly followed.
"I'm shocked and appalled by Sen. Franken's behavior " said Sen. Patty Murray of Washington state. "It's clear to me that this has been a deeply harmful  persistent problem and a clear pattern over a long period of time. It's time for  him  to step aside."
Though the writing appeared to be on the wall   Franken 's departure was not certain. A tweet posted Wednesday evening on  Franken 's Twitter account said: "Senator Franken is talking with his family at this time and plans to make an announcement in D.C. tomorrow. Any reports of a final decision are inaccurate."
Schumer called  Franken  immediately after the latest allegation â and before the torrent of demands for  Franken 's resignation from Democrats â and told  him   he  needed to resign  said a Democrat familiar with the events. Schumer met later in his apartment with  Franken  and Franken's wife  Franni  and repeated that message  and  he  did the same in additional talks with the senator throughout the day  said the Democrat  who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to describe private conversations.
Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez weighed in  too  asking  Franken  to resign and saying  "Sexual misconduct  harassment and assault have no place in the Democratic Party  the United States Congress  the White House or anywhere."
The resignation demands came in rapid succession even though  Franken  on Wednesday vehemently denied the new accusation that came from a former Democratic congressional aide  who said  he  tried to forcibly kiss her after a taping of  his  radio show in 2006.
The woman  who was not identified  told Politico that  Franken  pursued her after her boss had left and she was collecting her belongings. She said that she ducked to avoid his lips and that  Franken  told her: "It's my right as an entertainer."
 Franken  already faced a Senate Ethics Committee investigation into previous claims by several other women that  he  groped them or sought to forcibly kiss them.
The allegations began in mid-November when Leeann Tweeden  now a Los Angeles radio anchor  accused  him  of forcibly kissing her during a 2006 USO tour in Afghanistan.
Other allegations followed  including a woman who says  Franken  put  his  hand on her buttocks as they posed for a photo at the Minnesota State Fair in 2010. Two women told the Huffington Post that  Franken  squeezed their buttocks at political events during  his  first campaign for the Senate in 2008. A fourth woman  an Army veteran  alleged  Franken  cupped her breast during a photo on a USO tour in 2003.
 Franken  has apologized for  his  behavior but has also disputed some of the allegations.
 Franken  was first elected to the Senate in 2008  defeating Republican Norm Coleman in a bitter recount that took seven months.  Franken  won that race despite attacks over bawdy humor and writings dating back to  his  days on NBC's "Saturday Night Live " including a proposed skit joking about rape.
