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

Yes, his wife can take over for him and becomes senator for life due to a technicality in how the law was written

this is misleading. theres no technicality or chain of command where a vacated senate seat automatically goes to the spouse of the former senator. The only way his wife would “take over” is if shapiro appointed her to the seat, which i guarantee would never happen.
