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.
minus-square@jordanlundOPMlink26•1 month agoIn case anyone wonders what the rules on a replacement are: https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/28/kentucky-replace-mcconnell-beshear-00149543 “The governor must choose a nominee from a list of three names the outgoing senator’s party submits. Beshear would have to choose a Republican, should either Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell or Sen. Rand Paul’s seats become vacant.”
