Watching maga politicians on maga twitter now fight over who will fill Vance's seat until November. Vivek is doing a lot of posturing and self-promoting. However, the dismal response to him, means his candidacy is a fantasy.
Did Vance resign from the Senate? I wouldn't do that if I were he. I mean, not that he's the most productive member of the body, but he might want to keep his day job.
Might not have a choice, depends on Ohio law. I remember when KY had to change their law to allow Rand Paul to run for POTUS and keep his Senate job at the same time.
Vance was elected in 2022, started serving in 2023, so he still has another 4+ years to go in his term; he doesn't have to worry about running both for VP and Senate at the same time. If he resigns before then, Mike DeWine (the R governor) appoints his replacement who serves until a special election sometime in the following year. But there's no particular reason for him to resign before he knows whether he's won or lost.
Thank you very much for that info!
I know that each state has their own laws about 'the replacements'!
Correct @Gladari, in some states he cannot be a current office holder while running for a new office. That's why he has i believe 30 days to tender his resignation in order to be on the ballot in those states that have such a provision.
Thank you both for your willingness to echand views and facts!
