Biden Wins 7th Senate Term, But Won't Serve

Joe Biden has won a seventh term in the Senate, defeating Republican challenger Christine O'Donnell, but won't serve a full Senate term because running mate Barack Obama won the presidency.

WILMINGTON, Del. -- Joe Biden has won a seventh term in the Senate, defeating Republican challenger Christine O'Donnell.

The call is based on an analysis of voter interviews, conducted for The Associated Press by Edison Media Research and Mitofsky International.

Biden won't serve a full Senate term, however, because running mate Barack Obama won the presidency.

Biden will now resign his Senate seat and Delaware gets a new Democratic senator. Outgoing Democratic Gov. Ruth Ann Minner would likely appoint Biden's replacement.

Potential contenders include Lt. Gov. John Carney and the senator's son, Attorney General Beau Biden.

Re: So Biden won't be serving

  • Illinois will also need a new Senator, obviously.

  • Personally I don't like the idea of appointments.  They should at least solicit input from constitutents if they can't afford a new vote...
  • Isn't Beau currently serving overseas?  If he were appointed, how would that work?  Would he get sent back immediately?
  • It literally takes an act of Congress for anyone to come home early. ?I think they'd manage it in this case. ?Actually, remembering some list of acceptable reasons to separate that H read to me once (my memory is vague on it), I believe that serving in public office is on the list. ?It would still have to be approved, but I can't see them preventing that.
