  • I’m on the fence about this. On one hand, it’s one less R vote. On the other hand, Kentucky has been leaning blue lately, so it’s possible a dem would be elected (though that’s obviously not guaranteed).

    There’s also been talk about the governor appointing someone, which would be best. But I’ve also read that Kentucky changed their constitution after he was elected taking that power away from the governor, and forcing a special election for cases like this.

    My guess is that the governor is being pushed to appoint someone so the Rs have to sue saying it’s against the Kentucky constitution. In doing so, the status of McConnell would be part of discovery.
