Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear this week declined to say whether he would follow a state law that says Republicans would get to choose a replacement for Sen. Mitch McConnell if the Senate GOP leader leaves Congress before the end of his term.
The Democratic governor was asked during a news conference Thursday about making an appointment in the event of a Senate vacancy but said he would not speculate on the matter.
It should be, yes. And it would be in any other state. Mitch changed the law in his state so if he dies in office a new rep from the same party has to take his place.
An article I read earlier, it sounds like the Governor has a reasonable chance of winning a court fight to invalidate that law for being unconstitutional.
I hope it gets invalidated. Its obviously a bad faith law.
It’s me. Hi. I’m the Republican, it’s me.
