Interesting potential tidbit of trivia if it were to happen:
Cochran's immediate predecessor in the Senate (James Eastland) served as PPT from 1972 to 1978. If Cochran were to become PPT in 2019, would it be the first instance of a Senate PPT being succeeded by another Senate PPT?
EDIT: Actually never mind, its already happened.
James Eastland himself was preceded by a Senate PPT, Pat Harrison. Surely Cochran becoming the third successive senator from the same seat to become PPT would be some sort of record, no?
This is what happens when you have a state that has only elected five different men to the U.S. Senate since WWII; it looks like 3 of them will become PPT.
