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.

Alright, two things to celebrate on the 4th.
Hoping it’s fake, but these days who knows.
O..M..G..
Amazing. The hubris...it hurts...
Could be a planted story. Could be totally fake. I’d wait out.
If this is true, how can a devoted wife leave her husband in his reported condition.
WOW, that’s COLD.
So now Senate seats are offered to family members. The Constitution truly is a piece of parchment paper in a museum. I cry for this great republic!
The resignation, if true, worth celebrating.
Cindy McCain, not so much.
The Constitution truly is a piece of parchment paper in a museum.
*****************************************
The Kenyanesian Usurpation should have made that clear.
Cindy will be gone in the first election, if not sooner when AZ finds out about no names skeletons.
Someone must have threatened to spill the beans and get the truth out in public: that McCain was buried two months ago.
I believe Ducey has specifically said that Cindy will NOT be chosen.
It’s a family tradition.
Phony wraps himself in the American flag?
Maybe she will take the seat and convert to being a dimocrat?
Yeah, but the santa monica observer has the unsourced scoop!
Well that stinks but just the fact that Arizona managed to elect both Juan McCain and Flakey Jeff tells me Arizona is gone.
Is there any evidence MCCain is even still alive ?
It suits the deep state purposes to state he is a alive and continues to attack Trump
