...Although North Carolina leans Republican, it is competitive. Trump won there in 2016 by just 3.6 percentage points.
Under state law, Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper must appoint a member of the incumbent senator's party to fill any Senate vacancy and is required to choose from candidates selected by the state party. So, if Burr resigned, Republicans would retain control of the seat. And if Burr leaves from Sept. 4 on, his replacement will serve out his term, which ends in 2023.
Some Republicans are confident the party is positioned to win any ensuing special election. Pointing to Reps. Richard Hudson and Mark Walker and former Gov. Pat McCrory, Republican insiders say Republicans have plenty of strong contenders to choose from — a luxury they argue the Democrats do not have...

And we would be rid of that turncoat Burr.

So if little dickie leaves before Sept. 4 there will be a special election?
How I hate this godforsaken phrase.
And we wonder why nothing every changes.
It's because NOTHING EVER CHANGES!

Burr needs to go.
You can’t win with Corrupt Politicians
Ax Mark Warner
Therefore he won't leave before then. His ego won't allow it. Just one more RINO opportunity to stick it to Orange Man Bad.
If Burr goes, DTFi goes. Her Husbands stock transactions are worse then Burr’s.
She must now resign her positions
Its a little late for that now.
They should have thought about this 15 years ago when McCain took control of the Senate.
You try and try to help these morons but it always ends the same.
Her friends in China won't allow that. They have too much invested in her.
Some people (at least in Cal) suggest that Feinstein was going to retire in early 2021, and the California governor would appoint himself into the spot....to carry his candidacy for the Presidency up in 2024.
Course, this was all before the virus, and the flip of blue-votes to red-votes.
Okay....At least he will have to pick a Republican from a Republican list. And the seat is good until 2023.
Let him resign. Get him the hell out of there!
In fact, it seems to me that the democRATs are the ones in real danger of losing badly in November.
The same people who actually produce and make this country run have been forced to witness in real time exactly what makes the Commies...err....democRATs tick. For the first time in my 68 years, I am watching Conservatives actually engage in massive protest rallies that were only done by lazy Leftists until now.
No amount of spin and Fake News is going to overcome the now fully Awake American people.
Where was Burr with Spy Gate going down?
Enough said, he is a swamp critter.
I’m ok with Burr as a Senator until he retires. As long as he NEVER
returns as Chairman of the Senate Intel Committee.
Let the voters in NC pick their next Senator, not the RAT
NC Governor.
I, for one, wont miss this placeholder...
It seems to me that Burr should couple with DiFi. If she stays, so should he.
What about Senator Frankenstein of California? She did the same thing didn’t she?
Burr is a useless toad. He can get a job as Warner’s valet.
“How I hate this godforsaken phrase.”
Makes two of us. Fear fear fear fear fear. Fear is the purview of five-letter words for “cat” beginning with “P”.
