Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell, who froze during a news conference Wednesday and earlier this year suffered a concussion after falling down, has also endured two other falls this year, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.
Perversely, KY legislature passed a law specifically requiring the Governor to appoint a replacement from the same party. It was vetoed, and veto was overturned. No dem replacement despite Beshear in the governor’s seat
I guess Kentucky is one of those states where the governor isn’t required to pick someone from the same party? I’d written Kentucky off so long ago that I haven’t been paying attention.
@sci Why not? The establishment can replace him in a heartbeat and Kentuckians will vote for whomever is picked for them.

Because a Democrat governor would appoint until a special election is held and he would rather die than let that happen

Straight up fascism.
Funny how it’s called KY when its politicians fuck us without lube.
Republicans change the rules if they ever see that they’ll hurt them in the future.

Nope. In Kentucky the Governor must select from a pool of 3 candidates that the GOP gives them.
Oh god, we can only hope.
