1. I thought some of his answers ...

were incoherent.
He also said Canada will never be the 52nd state.
At that point I felt I was correct with his incoherent responses.
He corrected himself, but it was too late in my opinion.

[Rhiannon12866]

2. Well, he did have a stroke

[aggiesal]

3. I understand that ...

He should resign and let Gov. Shapiro appoint another Senator.

[Rhiannon12866]

4. I'm not sure what the protocol is and his term is only half over, I'd guess it would be up to his constituents

[aggiesal]

5. As I understand it ...

The governor can appoint Senator. Then the next election, the voters elect for the interim time remaining.
Or appoint an interim Senator and announce a special election, prior to the next election.
A (D) governor would obviously appoint another (D).

6. I know when (my) Senator Clinton was appointed Secretary of State by President Obama

Then-Governor Paterson appointed my NY-20 Rep. to take her place. And then there was a Special Election to replace our Rep. which I worked on since the Democrat was local and very good. So it is up to the governor to replace a senator, but I don't know about removing one unless the senator chooses to resign which Senator Fetterman has no intention of doing.

7. Well, he did correct himself immediately.

[aggiesal]

8. He did correct himself, but not immediately ...

He said 52nd twice
It was about 10 seconds later, in the middle of the next sentence when he corrected himself.

9. My mistake. I thought he only said it once

and corrected right after.
