Who will be President Pro Tempore when Hatch is gone, assuming Republicans keep the Senate?

So Grassley will have his chance I guess. Cochran is destined to be it come the 116th if they keep it, then when he is gone in 2020, Grassley will take over if they manage to defend the 2014 seats.

Hatch will probably leave the Senate when he dies, no earlier than that. Or if he gets booted in the primary by Mia Love.

That's what he said he would do when he won his third term decades ago.

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.
