ARI MELBER, MSNBC: With a strong footing in Midwestern state the Democrats need to hold the White House, Franken is clear about who he wants to lead.

SEN. AL FRANKEN (D-MN): I think that Hillary would make a great president. I haven't announced that I'm supporting her, but -- does this count, I guess? Maybe this counts.

MELBER: Here's the question, do you need to see who all the candidates are first before you publicly endorse her?

FRANKEN: No, no. I think that, you know, I'm Ready for Hillary. I mean, I'm -- I think that -- we've not had someone this experienced, this tough, and as -- she's very, very impressive.

MELBER: It was an endorsement delivered as only Franken could.

MELBER: So, are you endorsing her today?

FRANKEN: If this is what you call an endorsement, I guess, yes. So, yes.
