Who will replace him? Appointment or special election?
I fear he will be replaced with one just like him or worse.
Remember when Coumo was forced to resign as Gov of NY? His replacement Hochul is even WORSE! At least he was a traditional corrupt pol, she is radical beyond belief.
Filling vacancies in the House of Representatives is controlled by Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution. ("When vacancies happen in the Representation from any State, the Executive Authority thereof shall issue Writs of Election to fill such Vacancies.") No other method of replacement provided for.
In most states, the party he's in will pick his replacement. Nothing like a "pick" to get a real radical. If the local news hides their deeds enough, that pick could win the next election for that seat. Some states have special elections though
Not a minute goes by that I am reminded that this 'Biden 2.0' radical Hochul is my governor. Love my president, but will never forgive him, that he chose Bruce Blakeman, over Elise Stefanik, to run against Hochul. Trump said at a fundraiser in 2022 with Elise standing by his side, she would be president "in about six years". Widely interpreted as Trump signaling his support for her, as a potential 2028 presidential candidate. As governor, Stefanik would have "decimated" Islamic socialist mayor Mamdani, now New Yorkers will be suffering for years because of his policies.

This is always the play.
