But isn’t Wyoming’s Gov a Dem?

What makes anyone think the Gov will pick a Repub to fill the slot?

State law requires it.

I believe Wyoming law requires the Governor to choose from a list of 3 nominees from leaders of the deceased Senator’s party.

The state’s law says that the governor must ask the deceased’s party for candidates for the slot. He cannot appoint someone from another party to fill the slot.

The WY Gov has *no* choice in the matter.
