Kennedy (D-MA) passed away from brain cancer in August 2009, 15 months after his diagnosis.
There is a greater than 50 percent chance McCain (R-AZ) will pass away at least 1 year from now meaning there will be a special election in November 2018 will take place simultaneously with Flake's seat. Democrats could win both US Senate seats in AZ the same day in November 2018. It will be like the 1994 TN US Senate Elections when Frist-R and Thompson-R got elected. If McCain passes away after the November 2018,The AZ US Senate Special Election could take place in November 2019 or November 2020. Democrats could win the AZ US Senate Special Election in 2019 or 2020. McCain is going to be 81 years old next month, Kennedy was 76 when he was diagnosed with brain cancer.
Democrats could regain control of the US Senate after 2018.
Hold onto every Democratic held seat up in 2018 including the ones in states Trump won-48D and 52R and pick up NV and both AZ US Senate seats. 51D and 49R.

(21,506 posts)Only state I ever visited where stranger's approached me on the street out of the blue to complain about Obama.
Admittedly I likely look like I could be a Trump supporter but has never happened to me anywhere else.
There are some rabid Republicans there in my experience.
