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.
Nah, pretty sure they can just not confirm them.
Who, the Senate? There’s no approval process for Senators, that’s for presidential appointments. In KY, the governor just appoints them, and they’re the new senator from Kentucky.
That doesn’t mean that Trump and the MAGA Senate won’t unilaterally rewrite the Constitution, and insist on approving the new senator, and insist on taking it all the way to the SCOTUS, where they will lose, but have successfully kept him out of office and voting for months.
I used the wrong term. Would have been swearing in. Johnson delayed one by over a month in Congress and as far as I know the same can happen in the Senate.
Gotcha.
They are! He died ages ago, the battery just ran out which is why he was found immobile…
Battery? Feel way too modern for Republicans…
It was actually a hamster on a wheel. Unfortunately, the hamster too, has succumb to the wicked evil within his decaying corpse.
