"Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) is finally giving in.
After weeks of holding his ground and refusing to resign, Weiner is expected to formally give up his congressional seat today. Several members of Congress, including Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio), have called for his resignation ever since he admitted to having online relationships with at least six women. Weiner, a married man, confessed to sending several suggestive pictures of himself to women during the last three years.
OpenSecrets Blog previously reported that many donors were willing to support Weiner despite his admission. However, the congressman's decision today shows he lacked the support from his own party."
