I'm surprised he doesn't stick around just to vote no.

Former Republican Nominee for President wants to avoid a defeat for Trump's SCOTUS nominee
Cindy McCain has been offered her husband's Senate seat
Senator John McCain will resign his US Senate seat on July 4, 2018, says an aide who asked not to be named because he was not authorized to speak to the press.
"In the end, it was about Kennedy resigning from the Supreme Court," said the aide. "Confirming a (SCOTUS) replacement before the election is considered in the interest of the national Republican party, so that it doesn't become an issue for Dems to run on in every race," said the aide, meaning every race for Senate or Congress.
The Aide indicated that the Senator wanted to wait until June 1 to resign, so that his seat would not be on the ballot along with retiring Jeff Flake. Republican Gov. Doug Ducey will appoint a Senator to serve until the 2020 election.
The aide said that Ducey has quietly offered McCain's seat to Cindy, but the 64 year old wife of Senator John McCain has made no decision as of yet. "Understandably, she doesn't want to think about it," he added.

If it’s true the Ducey offered this to Cindy, he had better pray she doesn’t accept or he will not be on the ballot in November
“I don’t see her as a political animal....not a leader... a follower.”
A placeholder.
>A placeholder.
Yeah. For decades the GOP has used placeholders and gatekeepers, to keep conservatives OUT, and put in place CINO’s.
A Congressional Seat belongs to the PEOPLE! They are NOT family heirlooms to be passed from husband to wife or family generation to generation!
This is everything that's wrong in Washington DC right here!!!
Brewer betrayed Arizona on Obamacare. I do not think her very smart. What about Al Melvin?
Why would an old rich widower want to move to Washington DC and give up her lifestyle. Way too much trouble.
I'm surprised he doesn't stick around just to vote no.
Cindy should stay with her Sick husband and go nowhere near DC
Well, if this is true, it would make McCain the final vote on the SCOTUS pick and she could demand a less conservative candidate. I don’t trust Cindy McCain, anymore than Imtrusted John McCain.
It’s hard to believe he’d leave before availing himself of the chance to vote against any Trump SCOTUS nominee, one final finger in the eye. He must be pretty bad off, assuming this is true.
I agree.
We stopped being a republic when that change happened.
We really need to change it back.
Senators should be accountable to our state houses.
Does a no vote make any difference from a non-vote?
blech, Cindy. she’s maybe worse than her decrepit husband
The Governor gets to choose...
Look, if Arizona votes in a couple more GOP senators, it HAS GOT to be better than the dynamic duo.
I hope Ducey appoints Kelli Ward.
Larry, do you have any insight?
My goodness. So sorry about your boy.
She is worse that he. If that is possible.
