John McCain To Resign Senate Seat on the 4th of July, Says Aide. Cindy McCain Offered his Seat

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.

Does Meghan get it when Cindy dies or is done with it? Then who, the retarded cousin in Tucson?

If Cindy is the deciding vote affirming our next SCOTUS I’ll live with it.

NS. I am talking about Juan leaving. What Arizona does with the seat is up to the Governor. If the Arizona peoples who elected this idiot in the first place do not like it, then do something about it.

If this is true, how can a devoted wife leave her husband in his reported condition.

He's been dead for months. She's just waiting.

The last I read-— he merely refused to say what he’s going to do and did some mealy mouthed talk about it being bad taste to even talk about McCain dying. Meanwhile nobody but the family and servants have seen him and for all we know he’s in a comma or dead like General Franco

hope he finally is stepping down, he shoulda not run the last few times, very anti citizens of az and country as per our constitution and his oath of office.

If a governor is misguided so much as to appoint family or anyone as a favor - the governor should be ousted soonest possible because that governor is not doing their job as per their oath to do best by/for their states citizens.

Every time I say his seat will go to Cindy I get 5 replies that Ducey has promised he wouldn’t do that. Hmmm.

No senate appointment should ever be considered temporary. They almost never ever leave, once they are in. Retention rate is well over 90%.

Which is why term limits are a requirement to keep the country.

A total of 47 wives have “assumed” their husband’s seat in Congress. Eight of those in the Senate. And the state governor’s play along for payback. Don’t be so naive. You think Blagovitch was the only one? He was only stupid enough to get caught. Read the article. “Widow’s mandate” my eye. My assertions were entirely correct.
