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.

I wouldn’t even call him a RINO, he’s more a a far left democrat operative. I believe his whole run for President was just a sham so B.Hussein could be President. Same with those two Democrat operatives Romney and Ryan who sabatoged their campaign right at the end so B.Hussein could be reelected. These same people who set up these fraudulent elections are the same ones who went nuts when Trump ran and won because the plan was for Hillary to be next President

Sounds like they are priming the pump for this. Seem several articles in the last week about wives who followed their husbands into the senate or house.

Definitely a media campaign going on at someone’s behest to get this idea out there

Alright, two things to celebrate on the 4th.

And one to cringe over. Cindy as a replacement will be a disaster.

Didn't this family dynasty thing also happen with a former Missouri governor?

It smacks of the form of government we fought a revolutionary war to escape.

“Someone must have threatened to spill the beans and get the truth out in public: that McCain was buried two months ago.”

This entire mess is like a “Weekend at Bernies”, without the humor.

Sorry to hear about your son.

Prayers up for him, his family and of course his parents.

Well, its nearly July 8th now, and McCain is still Senator.

Looks like this "aide" was talking out of his butt.
