John McCain, Aftermath
Dana Mathewson
Good analysis.
JOHN McCAIN, AFTERMATH â€" AT
12:31 P.M. ET: The nation mourns the passing of a giant of the
Senate. Inevitably, though, amidst the mourning is talk of what happens
to his senatorial seat. It's entirely appropriate to ask the
question. From the Washington TimesArizona
Gov. Doug Ducey will make the appointment that will fill the seat of
Sen. John McCain, who died Saturday after a year-long battle with brain
cancer.
Under
state law the replacement must be of the same party as Mr. McCain, a
Republican, according to election experts. That ensures the GOP will
maintain control of the Senate — though given Mr. Ducey is a Republican
as well, that was likely anyway.
Because
the vacancy happened so late in the year, Mr. Ducey’s replacement will
serve through the end of 2020, and the seat will next be on the ballot
in November of that year. The winner would then serve out the final two
years of the term Mr. McCain won in 2016 — his sixth.
Mr. Ducey’s decision could be tricky.
