Arizona’s Republican governor is navigating a political minefield as he weighs whom to appoint to the late Sen. John McCain's seat. Required by state law to name a replacement to fill the seat until the 2020 election, Gov. One of her rivals, former state senator Kelli Ward, ran against McCain in the 2016 GOP primary. McCain supporters and the senator's daughter Meghan lacerated McSally for following the president's lead in not mentioning McCain. According to the Arizona State Legislature, that election would have to be held “not less than 120 nor more than 133 days” after the vacancy occurs.
