There are increasing rumors that Mitch McConnell is on life support. He allegedly had a cardiac arrest. He's been in the hospital for nearly a month with no updates on his condition.
The dude was coded in the field. He's toast.
how dare the dumbocrats impose lifespans on our brave TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT'S!! It is a FACT that 100% of DEATHS in AMERICA are caused by LEFT WING RADICALS!!!
Section 76 of the Kentucky Constitution grants the Governor the power to fill vacancies, I don't know if they can pass a law that overrides the state constitution. They would have to amend that directly.
If the Governor fills the vacancy do they have to be confirmed? Largely a moot point if they can just refuse to let whoever is confirmed do their job until the proper election is held
I think specifically it is appointed and doesn't require confirmation as it would be temporary until the next election, however, it would likely go to the courts since the state took powers to appoint "anyone" away from the governor specifically to guarantee a Republican because as soon as a Democrat is appointed they'll have to change it back and we can't have that if we're trying to hold on to Senate power can we
Which is checkmate, the court won't expedite the ruling.
republicans are having lengthy phone conversations with mitch, so he's probably fine
He probably mumbles and groans if people shout loud enough.
"Hey Mitch, we're gonna keep fucking the poors and the browns - say nothing if you're cool with that."
*Mitch, looking up, flesh searing, smiles.*
With the Kentucky governor directly asking Mitch for an update, what's to stop him from declaring a special election before the August 3rd deadline if there's no reply?
Nothing is stopping him except his lack of courage. Republicans would have already forced the issue

Frankly can't trust a phone or even a video conversation with there no doubt being enough training data out there for AI to emulate his voice and likeness.
I had a long conversation with Mitch McConnell today when I propped him up in my passenger seat so I could use the HOV lane.
