Considering Fetterman.
Congressional rules allow each chamber to seat (accept) members as they wish.
If the Senate is red, could they reject Fetterstein due to his gross mental incapacity?
IIRC, the vote need be a simple majority.
If they reject him as seated, is it the duty of the Governor to name a replacement? (IOW, can the seat just remain vacant?)
probably never. They have to seat him\her then take action to remove.

The governor will name a replacement. There is no chance the seat would remain vacant.
