Gov. Phil Scott is not what we would recognize as a Republican outside of Vermont. He's both very centrist and very popular in the state. I think that if anyone were to follow a customary precedent, it would be Scott.
Can you imagine the pressure, though, that he would be under from Republicans. I mean pressure from Republican leaders calling him constantly pushing him to name a Republican as the interim senator and "pressure" from the Trump-a-Q whackos, including terrible threats to his family. I don't know anything about him, but I would hope that he has the integrity and the fortitude to stand up to that coercion. Hopefully we'll never need to find out.
