Punchbowl News reports that the former Senate majority leader, who is retiring after his current term ends in January, lost consciousness at his Washington, D.C., home at 8:36 a.m. on June 14, before a dispatcher sent over an Advanced Life Support ambulance. Journalist Desiree Townsend posted a recording of the call from the emergency dispatcher Tuesday afternoon to X.
If McConnell dies, then the governor will choose his replacement, and the governor is a Democrat. Unless he wants to completely END his political career, he will choose a Democrat.
The Senate Republicans won’t want that, so it’s a pretty good bet that when McConnell dies, they will keep it a secret for as long as possible.
If it looks like mitch is going to die the KY legislature will just pass a law stripping the power from the governor to appointed interim senator
Actually they planned ahead and already did that.
