Also if a senator gets picked for cabinet what happens to that senate slot? Does the governor get to assign someone there? runoff vote?

I keep hearing Department for Veterans Affairs, and while he might be good at it, I don't want that albatross hung around his neck. That's a career dead-ender.
As for Senate vacancies, it depends on the state. Some states require the governor to select a replacement from the same party as the outgoing Senator. Some don't. Some require a special election to fill the vacancy within 30 days, or 60 days, etc.
Depends on the state.
