Sen. Norm Coleman’s (R-Minn.) campaign continued to downsize, losing its top spokesman over the weekend and shutting some campaign offices.
Senior spokesman Mark Drake has left the campaign, Minnesota Public Radio reported Monday, though there was no indication to where Drake would be headed.
Another Coleman spokesman, Luke Friedrich, left the campaign last week to take a job with Rep. Erik Paulsen (R-Minn.).
The campaign also closed its offices this weekend, which it said was because its lease was up.
Coleman’s attorneys are expected to conclude their arguments in its election challenge to Democrat Al Franken’s 225-vote lead in the race as certified by a state board today or tomorrow.
