    If Mark Kelly was to become VP the governor of Arizona (a Democrat) would be able to replace him with someone else for the rest of his senate term

      Oh, I didn’t realize that.

      Well he seems like the obvious choice TBH. I’m surprised Harris would go with a Phili governor unless she really, specifically needs an edge in Phili.

        In all fairness, she does really, specifically, need an edge in Pennsylvania if she wants to win.

        AZ senator, former astronaut and navy aviator, husband of Gabby Giffords (a congresswoman who survived an assassination attempt). He is coming up a lot in speculation about Harris’ running mate and was one of the people contacted by her campaign.
