I’m also hearing an unconfirmed report that he fell a second time once inside a room or office, but you know how the rumor mill is.

    Consider if he’s incapacitated. That takes away 1 vote in the senate. If he dies, the KY governor is required to pick from choices provided by the party of the departing senator. So they would necessarily be republican.

      I’d be hard pressed to believe they would be as evil and conniving as Mitch McConnell. So unless he’s incapacitated until he’s dead over a period of three years, without a single chance to be his fully awful self in the slightest…

      I’d still prefer my first choice.

      Edit: 2027 not 2028 for his last term.
