A special election would be held 145 to 160 days after confirmation.

  Sen. John Kerry’s confirmation hearing to become the next Secretary of State will take place on Jan. 24, according to Fox25. No opposition is expected to Kerry’s nomination.

Scott Brown has not announced whether he is going to run.
