2018 AZ US Senate Special Election?
If McCain-R succumbs to brain cancer any time in the near future, there will be a special election in November 2018.

2018 US Senate Election- Democrats will have between 51 to 54 seats after 2018.
Every Single Democratic held US Senate Seat up in 2018 remains in the Democratic column- that includes FL(Nelson-D vs Scott-R) What is the likelihood of Scott-R running in FL?, IN(Donnelly-D),MN Special(Smith-D),MO(McCaskill-D),MT(Tester-D),NJ(Menendez-D)ND(Heitkamp-D),OH(Brown-D),PA(Casey-D), WV(Manchin-D), and WI(Baldwin-D) 49D.
Democrats pick up AZ(Sinema-D) and NV(Rosen-D) 51D
Potential Surprise Victories for Democrats- TN(Bredensen-D),TX(O'Rourke-D) and UT(Wilson-D)- assuming McMullin-I runs and splits the Republican vote. 54.

2018 MN US Senate Special Election- Tina Smith-D
Governor Mark Dayton-D appointed his Lt. Governor Tina Smith-D to the MN US Senate Seat vacated by Al Franken-D.
Sitting Lt. Governors who have been appointed to the US Senate.
2012-Brian Schatz(D-HI) appointed to replace Dan Inouye-D who died. Schatz-D defeated Colleen Hanabusa-Inouye's preferred candidate in the Democratic Primary and then won the November 2012 General Election.
1996-Sheila Frahm(R-KS) appointed to replace Bob Dole-R who resigned to run for POTUS. Frahm-R lost in the Republican primary to Sam Brownback.
Smith-D is going to win the Democratic Nomination for the 2018 MN US Senate Race with strong endorsements from the entire DFL establishment. I expect the surviving members of the Wellstone family to support Smith.
Republicans will nominate Michelle Bachmann over Tim Pawlenty.
Tina Smith-D defeats Michelle Bachmann in the November 2018 General Election by a high single to low double digit margin.
I hear that NRSC committee chair Gardner(R-CO) is inviting Sen. Elect Jones(D-AL) to switch sides.
Will they send Richard Shelby to convince Doug Jones to become a Republican like Shelby did 23 years ago?
