Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) “said that he hasn’t decided how long he’ll serve as the late John McCain’s appointed replacement and kept the door open to suggesting that Rep. Martha McSally (R-AZ) — who lost her Senate bid last week — serve out the remainder of his term,” Politico reports.
“When Kyl agreed to step into the Senate seat earlier this year, he didn’t address his future beyond this year and said he wouldn’t run in a 2020 special election that’s set to determine who will serve for the two years left in McCain’s term. That has stoked speculation that McSally could get appointed to replace Kyl in the seat, giving her a potential leg up in the 2020 race.”
