He should've appointed a placeholder and leave Republican voters to decide who will be the person they want to defend this seat.
Appointing a loser only a few weeks after she lost, is indeed a huge middle finger to the electorate.
Ducey hasn't given up his own asperations to get to the Senate after finishing his 2nd Term as Governor.
He has some Options now especially if McSally loses in 2020. He could then run in 2022 or run against Sinema in 2024.
It's getting harder every year with Arizona fast moving to the left.
Not for a Popular Governor like Ducey.
Everyone said it would be hard for Rick Scott to beat Bill Nelson. He's now a Senator-elect and AZ is still more Republican than Florida is.
I can see Ducey running in 2022 when his Term is up if McSally loses in 2020. If she wins he could run against Sinema.
Florida is moving to the right.
Arizona is moving to the left.
Hmm i don't think so. Florida isn't moving to the right. It's just slightly right to the nation, and it has quite a strong right-wing and a strong left-wing base. Hispanics and rural voters might have moved to the right though a bit, but it's not a trend that will be consistent i think, as other groups might move to the left. It's still winnable for Democrats.
Arizona might be moving to the left, because they hate Trump and because of demographics, but i don't think a progressive right now has a chance in Arizona. Those states have a lot of suburbs, and i think suburbs rather want moderate Democrats.
