NO...he will not. He is out. Here are two links read both of them and you'll understand...he is no longer a senator Wednesday....state certification does not matter...this is the 17th Amendment to the Constitution..it is very clear.

From your second link:

The Massachusetts law, passed in September to authorize Kirk’s appointment, provides that an appointed Senator shall serve “until the election and qualification of the person duly elected to fill the vacancy.”

Note that it says election and qualification, making it appear Kirk stays until Mass is done with their process.
