Obama Website

In a 5-0 decision, the Minnesota State Supreme Court today declared Al Franken the winner of the state’s Senate race. Shortly thereafter, Franken’s opponent Norm Coleman officially conceded.

In an official statement, President Obama congratulated Franken, saying:

"I look forward to working with Senator-Elect Franken to build a new foundation for growth and prosperity by lowering health care costs and investing in the kind of clean energy jobs and industries that will help America lead in the 21st century.”
