Once a rising star in the Democratic party, the senator made the announcement in a speech Thursday on the Senate floor.
"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."
A spokesperson for Senator denies the woman's claim.
"...It was clearly intended to be funny but wasn't. I shouldn't have done it," Franken wrote.
