Abby Honold, a sexual assault survivor and advocate, announced Saturday that Klobuchar's office would help champion the bill.
"Happy to announce that my legislation for sexual assault victims will be championed by @amyklobuchar's office," Honold's tweet read.

"Sen. Klobuchar spoke with Abby this morning. They had a good conversation, and Sen. Klobuchar told Abby that she will be sponsoring the bill," Ben Hill, Klobuchar's state director, said.
Last month, Honold stood side-by-side with Franken at a press conference announcing the bill. However, after the allegations came out, Honold said she would like someone else to help champion the bill.
