What happened

Kyl made a four-month return to the Senate when he was appointed in September 2018 by then-Gov. Doug Ducey (R-AZ) to fill a seat left vacant after the death of Sen. John McCain.
As a lobbyist, Kyl helped guide the confirmation of Trump-picked U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
"If you saw him on the plane, he was sitting in the aisle, in coach, and he was reading," Ducey said.
Kyl was born in Oakland, Nebraska, on April 25, 1942, and grew up in a rural farming district in Iowa that his father represented in the U.S. House.
