McCain won't resign unless he gets to choose his successor (his wife or daughter).
And the governor is currently in a primary fight with Ken Bennett, who has made McCain's successor a campaign issue. So if McCain resigns and Ducey appoints another McCain, he's toast in the August primary, and he's not doing too well anyway (see below link).
So look for McConnell pressuring McCain to come up with some other acceptable appointment other than his wife or daughter, so he can resign and McConnell will have another vote in the senate.
Stubborn, selfish oligarch McCain!

I think it’s not going to be an issue. It looks increasingly unlikely McCain will last out the summer. I don’t expect the final vote until early Fall.

He’s a Chicago voter. He’s been dead for two months.

My hunch is that he will come in at the 11th hour (if he makes it that long) and vote yea so he can be remembered as the guy who saved the country (by having a strong supreme court majority). He’s got that kind of ego.

How much time does McCain have before he departs this mortal coil? The vote won’t happen unti at least September.

Where has he been? He is a camera hog. He must be on life support until Romney wins in the senate so mittens will take his place as the no vote for anything Trump.

we don't even know he's alive....it would not surprise me one bit if he is dead already, or is on a vent without brain function just so the rats can leverage his vote in some way....
iows, let the pubs know they have one less senate vote, or not, depending on who is put up.

Maybe he’ll die by then and we will have a replacement that faces election in the near future.

McCain would crawl from his death bed to D.C. to vote NO on anything that might help Trump.

Or Ducey simply delays naming a successor to McCain until after the primary. That would still likely be in time for a SC vote.

What assurance is there that McLame is still even alive?
How about some video footage of him talking coherently and holding this morning’s edition of the Washington Times?
