No Vacancy?

Kentucky Republicans have tried to take away Governor Beshear’s ability to appoint Mitch McConnell’s replacement. Beshear says he’s considering ignoring the state legislature and appointing a Democrat to replace McConnell anyway.

He believes the law is unconstitutional, that Kentucky’s constitution gives him the authority, and that he’s prepared to test the GOP on it.

This is exactly how Democrats should be fighting.
I don’t know the status of Kentucky law, but can Bashear replace McConnell just because McConnell is in the hospital?

Maybe we should all wait for proof of death? ☠️
