Good choice. At least this gets us through Kavanaugh’s appointment.

The US Senate seat left vacant by John McCain’s death will be filled by Jon Kyl, a former Republican senator from Arizona, it was announced on Tuesday.

The decision was revealed by McCain’s widow, Cindy, who wrote in a tweet: “Jon Kyl is a dear friend of mine and John’s. It’s a great tribute to John that he is prepared to go back into public service to help the state of Arizona.”

“There is no one in Arizona more prepared to represent our state in the US Senate than Jon Kyl,” Doug Ducey, Arizona’s governor, followed up in a statement.
