They asked she be appointed mayor of Braddock, so she must have some interest

Technically most places don't even legally have to give breaks. I worked in management in Pennsylvania and people would complain all the time about the brake system about how long by law that they were supposed to get so I really looked into it. Other than being a minor, they do not have to give you breaks. It's insane they absolutely just do not care and we all allow it. I can remember being in my late teens and through my twenties and even most of my 30s where I was so afraid to get in trouble at work or do something to piss off my job so you come in on all those extra shifts and you try to be indispensable and then something is going to happen in your life and you're going to realize that you mean nothing to them. Jobs like to tell you when you mess up but never when you do good because they want you to constantly try to be their idea of perfect and then it's no wonder everyone here has anxiety and is on depression medication. No one feels like they can succeed at anything.

Well, if you insist. I googled it for you: What happens when a US Senator dies?

This.
It's not required, it's not the law, but there seems to be a tradition of appointing the spouse to take a seat until the special election is held.

I'd blame public schools but I don't know that the private ones are any better...

If Fetterman resigns, Shapiro will appoint someone to fill the vacancy.

…what? I don’t need you to explain how the process would work. I literally just responded to the notion that someone as unqualified as her shouldn’t be in any discussion

It's not unheard of. Widows have been appointed to their late husband's senate seats 8 times. The most recent was Jean Carnahan in 2001. A Governor could appoint the widow as a placeholder until the special election and not be seen as trying to play favorites or influence the election.

This isn’t the point, but you’re implying that all our electeds are qualified. Have you ever listened to them speak about how human reproduction occurs?
I don’t think Mrs. Fetterman has any interest; but as others have stated- Governor Shapiro is able to appoint whomever he chooses. Once a person accepts the nomination, a special election must occur within 2 years of the appointment. The nominated person can run, along with others. The winner of the special election would serve the remainder of the term. The special election doesn’t necessarily need to be separate from a regularly scheduled election cycle, but the office must be on the ballot within two years of the appointment.
