Kyl has said that he’s only going to be in the seat until the end of the year.
Interpretation: He’s there to see Kavanaugh confirmed and then he will resign.
Ducey will then be able to select another person to fill in until 2020 election cycle.

Additional interpretation...
Ducey wins his election in November, and then appoints a McCain to fill the seat when Kyl leaves, because he's no longer worried about making voters angry.

Also possible. So long as Kavanaugh gets confirmed, I’m OK with that. Maybe...just maybe...we can pick up another couple of Senate seats in the mid-term to overcome the turncoats (Collins and Murkowski) always dropping a turd in our punch bowl. One can only hope they become irrelevant.
