Now unless McDaniel is the one appointed to fill Cochran’s unexpired term [almost zero
chance that will happen] whoever is appointed will not be able to run in November. The
Republican candidate would be McDaniel.

I'd like to see the MS Code that explains that situation. I've looked but can't
find anything as to how or who is placed on the ballot for the Nov. general election.

Some of us have been discussing it over here.

Also, like I just posted, could the person have meant "concede" instead of "resign," and just used the wrong word in haste?

I’m with you, would like to see itvas well.

Particularly since, if Cochrane is now the certified nominee, removing himself from the ballot would open the election to write-ins, right?

So if thats the case a possible Murkowski repeat is possible. McDaniels is the GOP nominee (assuming he is the default replacement for Cochrane) but one or more GOPe candidates run. They either win (like Murkowski did) or act as spoilers and hand the election to Childers.

So a very complex situation, one that’s actually becoming more complex as things progress.
