Franklin's even been featured on some of Brown's campaign merch, like this coffee mug, and even got a shoutout from the Democrats' main Twitter account following Brown's win on Tuesday night. 。Mashable Top StoriesStay connected with the hottest stories of the day and the latest entertainment news.Sign up for Mashable's Top Stories newsletter。By signing up you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.。
