Washington (CNN) As the nation mourns the death of John McCain, Arizona's Republican governor must soon decide who will replace him in the Senate. He said in a statement that he would not name a successor until after McCain was buried later this week. In the year since McCain was diagnosed with brain cancer, Ducey -- who faces a tough re-election race this year -- has refused to talk about who he might appoint to the seat. Now required to fill the vacancy, Ducey faces major questions that could steer his decision. Among them: Will he seek a placeholder who won't run for re-election in 2020?
