The Arizona Senate seat would be filled by the Governor for the remainder of the current session. The current governor is a Democrat, but even if she was not, AZ law requires the appointment to be from the same party.
The seat has no chance of changing hands until the next regular election either way.
Kelly being VP would actually trigger a special election in 2026.
Kelly's seat is up for reelection in 2026 regardless. He was elected in 2020 and Senate seats are 6 year terms.
