Just appoint a Dem into his seat! The country already knows he's dead! Dems have got to quit letting Trump walk all over them! Stand up and say it, WE KNOW MCCONNELL HAS BEEN DEAD THIS WHOLE TIME, AND WE'RE THRU PLAYING YOUR GAMES!
At first, I thought he should, too. But if we're playing the long-game here, keeping that seat vacant would be better than having a Republican elected and them passing the SAVE Act. Even if he appointed a Democrat to the seat and they took him to court over it, it might be resolved with time enough to pass the SAVE Act. That would screw the whole country.
It’s just optics to look like he attempted to do something. It’s too late. MAGA will get what they want via cheating as usual. Our Democratic party needs more politicians like Ossoff.
Is there ever a time anything, simply ANYTHING, that is investigated and acted on quickly????!!! Why, oh, freaking God, does every single issue drag on day after freaking day????!!! The salaries of governors and every member of the government are astronomical!!! What the he'll do any of them do to earn it AND all the perks??? Does anyone notice how many people enter Congress with everyday citizen finances, just to find how quickly we see in a short time they are now millionaires, hardly doing any work of substance, living in nice residences in DC, car services, and definitely not cooking dinner or carrying bag lunches!!! The people they represent struggle and they pretend to sympathize while lives like kings in DC and at home!! Sickening!!! WAKE UP, AMERICANS!!! We, yes, we, are allowing this with no repercussions to them!!! Stand up! Call them!!! Say put up and support us or get out of the cushy lives WE are paying for!!!!!
A special election would be costly and time consuming. He wasn’t going to run again. There aren’t enough days left before November 3. We think it’s better to have the vacancy and one less MAGA vote. So now he can’t vote on the very important Appropriations Committee! It’s tied. We also think, since McConnell was given CPR, he is either comatose or in cold storage at the morgue. If he’s at the morgue it’s immoral, unethical, and probably illegal.
This belated response by Beshear is deeply disappointing and troubling. This should be regarded as a “Merrick Garland” type delayed response to an important issue. This issue could have been easily rectified as to the health or existence of Mitch McConnell weeks ago.
I belive moscow mitch purposefully set this whole thing in motion some time ago before he was taken ill or incapacitated to ensure the repugnantcants maintain their slight majority. He's good at deceit and this is just the kind of thing he likes to do. I hope his evil will be gone soon. Enough already.
He needs to appoint a progressive Dem Socialist in there. Or just leave the seat vacant, indefinitely. Mitch would have pulled no less, if situation was reversed.
Is this the final final ultimatum or just the final ultimatum?
Yeah like Trump negotiating ending the war 22 times.
Just appoint a Dem into his seat! The country already knows he's dead! Dems have got to quit letting Trump walk all over them! Stand up and say it, WE KNOW MCCONNELL HAS BEEN DEAD THIS WHOLE TIME, AND WE'RE THRU PLAYING YOUR GAMES!
If McConnell is dead/incapacitated I would like to see legal action taken against his staff.
And his wife, Elaine Chao. In Kentucky it's a felony to cover up a death.
And the money Chow and staff have been taking all this time!
These people that have been blowing smoke up peoples butt, now should face legal action for stealing the tax payer’s money.
Yes. Agree. Is Mitch still getting paid? Getting healthcare? Etc. If he has been dead, that is fraud.
Extremely disappointed in Beshear for not following through on his promise to call a special election today as he promised he would.
On the bright side, Beshear has self-selected himself out of any future presidential election.

I agree with you!
As an Australian I've listened to Beshear explaining why he can't.
It’s just optics to look like he attempted to do something. It’s too late. MAGA will get what they want via cheating as usual. Our Democratic party needs more politicians like Ossoff.
I agree!

Last-minute grandstanding about what should have been done months ago!!
What's next? A strongly worded petition??

This is a joke, right? He's likely ending his own political career for lack of a spine
Call a special election already
Because he’s DEAD….

Sorry, toothless at this point.
