Can someone explain how this works? A senator dies and the governor can just appoint any person she likes to replace her? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/14/darline-graham-nordone-south-c...

JFC Roberto, can you use this thing called google for 5 seconds ?

Under the constitution, each of the 50 states retains certain fundamental rights, and diff states have diff rules about filling a vacancy

I would guess that in this case, since elections are $$, and since there is an election in only a few months, it makes sense to fill the seat on a temporary basis
