McCain returns to Arizona, won't vote on GOP tax bill: report
By Jacqueline Thomsen - 12/17/17 03:15 PM EST

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is returning to Arizona and will miss the final vote on his party’s tax bill this week, CBS News reported Sunday.

McCain, who has been hospitalized at Walter Reed Medical Center suffering from the side effects of his treatment for brain cancer, reportedly left Washington, D.C., on Sunday to return home for the holidays.

This means he will not be in D.C. to vote on the GOP tax bill, which is expected to take place early in the week.

The Hill has reached out to McCain’s office for comment.

If McCain were to die or step down, he would be replaced by the governor.  Candidates would be eligible to run for his seat in the next general election in ‘18 or ‘20, depending on when it happened.  The winner would serve out the remainder of his term until 2022.

Doctors find second tumor in Sen. John McCain’s brain
KTAR.com, Nov 29, 2017

PHOENIX — Doctors found a second tumor in the brain of U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in the same place as the surgically-removed original growth.

The 81-year-old senator told People magazine he was feeling fine despite the second tumor that was discovered during chemotherapy.

“I’m getting treatment, and my progress is steady and good,” he told the publication. “People are saying, ‘I hope you can get over this.’ I believe I will.”

Yup.  I saw the same article.  If he's replaced before 12/31, there will be two senate races next year.  I'm pretty sure the Flake seat will be a Dem pickup, we have a lot of blue out here.

Yep. My guess is the Doc's told him it was time. Get your affairs in order and say your goodbyes.  Turn out the lights...The party is over.  Looks like for once he listened to someone.

Of course, he just couldn't find the time to actually resign his seat, so that at least somebody would be representing the citizens of Arizona.

They can't and won't, since the certification of the Alabama vote won't occur until after the Congressional break has begun.

That's just straight up crazy talk. If you didn't think McCain was in full denial before, that statement should clear up your doubts.

   Karma would be that he die on the waiting list of the Arizona VA since as chairman of the United States Senate Committee on Armed Services he is partly responsible for the shoddy treatment our Veterans are receiving there.
