Jon Kyl, the former U.S. Senate minority whip, has been chosen to replace the late Sen. John McCain.
Arizona Governor Doug Ducey announced on Tuesday that Kyl, 76, will return to Capitol Hill to serve in McCain’s empty Senate seat until at least the end of the year.
“There
is no one in Arizona more prepared to represent our state in the U.S.
Senate than Jon Kyl,” Ducey said in a statement. “He understands how the
Senate functions and will make an immediate and positive impact
benefiting all Arizonans. I am deeply grateful to Senator Kyl for
agreeing to succeed his friend and college [sic] of so many years.”
And he will be a more agreeable Senator than John McCain.
