So is the logic that it’s best if the seat remain vacant and not risk a younger more alive republican to be elected in a special election and sworn in, where as if a democrat won the seat, they’d basically not be sworn in anyway and it’d be as if the seat were intentionally vacant?
Republicans are stalling so the governor can’t appoint an interim senator. There won’t be a chance either way for a younger more alive republican. The rest of this term is basically a wash for that seat.
Ohh I see, so the governor would be able to appoint an interim senator if the seat is vacant before Aug 3rd or whatever day, but unlikely that they’d ever get sworn in or do anything more productive than an empty seat?
