    Senator Kelly’s replacement would be required by Arizona law to be a Democrat appointed by the Governor (also currently a Democrat). The special election to replace the replacement wouldn’t be until 2026. If he’s the right one for the job, it might be worth potentially taking a hit 2 years into a Harris administration.

      That’s a good point. I didn’t know it wasn’t until 2026. The main point is to sure up Arizona, which is understandable. The guy from Pennsylvania might be good for that reason, too, but that’s a little less iffy as it’s a little more blue, especially since it sounds like Philly is loving the Harris hype.
