Mark Salter, Sen. John McCain’s co-author and former chief of staff sparred on Twitter with GOP Rep. Paul Gosar over the weekend after Gosar called on Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey not to appoint McCain’s wife Cindy to his Senate seat in the event it is vacated.
McCain, who is battling glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer, has been home in Arizona for months but has not resigned.
Ducey has not said Cindy McCain, the senator’s wife, would be his pick to replace him if the seat is vacated before his term ends in 2022, but a number of GOP operatives and pundits in Arizona have speculated that could be the case.
