AZ and MS SEN (possible special): Will McCain or Cochran resign?

[I’m not Stu]

Will John McCain or Thad Cochran resign due to health issues?

[Keep cool-idge]

I said only Cochran but only because I think John McCain dies.

[DFL]

I said only Cochran but only because I think John McCain dies is immortal.

FTFY

[Dr. MB]

Cochran for sure. McCain might if his health takes a turn for the worse, or he may hold out until the end like Ted Kennedy.

[Del Tachi]

McCain's office has confirmed that he has an incurable, aggressive form of brain cancer.

Cochran's resignation has been talked about in an unsourced Politico article, and its not even clear if the article in question was in refernece to him leaving the Senate or just stepping down as head of approps.  Its possible that he and his staff are still comfortable keeping him on until 2020, nothing has been said.

Obviously, its not a good idea to speculate on these things, but a McCain resignation is much liklier than a Cochran one at this point.

If McCain is forced to resign for health reasons, I think the Dems odds of taking back the Senate go up significantly.

Yes for Cochran, and in McCain's situation I'd lay 50/50 odds he either resigns or he passes away.

Arizona has never had a senator die in office or resign in mid-term.
