Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey announced Sunday that he will wait until after Sen. John McCain is laid to rest to appoint a replacement to fill his Senate seat, “out of respect for the life and legacy” of the late lawmaker. “Now is a time for remembering and honoring a consequential life well lived,” Ducey said through his spokesman, Daniel Ruiz. Under state law, Ducey is entitled to appoint a person to fill the vacant seat until 2020, when a special election will be held to select someone to serve out the last two years of McCain’s term.
