The Vacant Seat

[George K]

Apparently Vance has to resign his Senate seat to become the GOP nominee.

Who will replace him?

[jon-nyc]

I don’t think I have time.

Mik?

[Jolly]

Could do worse

[Mik]

I’m not waiting by the phone….

I’m guessing Frank Larose or maybe Jon Hustead. I’d be happy if Mike nominated himself.

Term limited?

"If Vance is elected to higher office, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) would select his immediate replacement in the Senate.

Vance was first elected in 2022 with a term slated to end in 2028. According to Ohio state law, his governor-appointed successor would face a special election in November 2026 to vote on who will complete the term."

Will Vance get his old job back if not elected to higher office?

[George K]

So Vance has not resigned his seat. Am I reading that right?

Yeah, I think he only needs to resign if elected.

[Axtremus]

Will Trump ask Vance to resign in advance to show loyalty confidence?

Ask a stupid question...
