I’m disappointed. He has a golden opportunity to avoid finishing.

I'm actually thinking the statement more has to do with the race there then his desire to 'finish' the term. As it settles out, he may reexamine that choice. I don't know the rules for succession in Indiana, but I'm sure that is a rather important consideration at the moment.

I don't know the rules for succession in Indiana, but I'm sure that is a rather important consideration at the moment.

Per Wikipedia, Lt. Gov. Eric Holcomb gets the job. He was considering a Senate run for the Dan Coats seat but backed off earlier this year. He seems to be a garden variety Republican (Indiana variety) as he's served on staff for both Mitch Daniels and Dan Coats. Very much an insider guy, but considered more conservative than Coats and generally supportive of Pence.
