Speculation abounds that defeated Rep. Martha McSally, R-Ariz., might wind up with a promotion to the Senate amid Sen. Jon Kyl's, R-Ariz., temporary appointment to replace the late Sen. John McCain, Politico reported.
"First of all, I would recommend Martha McSally for a lot of different things, including U.S. Senate, because I supported her candidacy," Sen. Kyl told Politico. "But no, I've not made any decisions about when I'm going to step down."
After McSally's loss, and amid Sen. Kyl's vow not to run in the 2020 special election for the seat once held by McCain, the veteran Republican said he will consult with re-elected Gov. Doug Ducey, R-Ariz., about his immediate future,
"And you all will be notified after that," Politico reported.
McSally lost to Democratic Sen.-elect Kyrsten Sinema, conceding in a hard-fought race Monday night.
