What is Mitch McConnell up to?
By Frank Friday
I wondered how long it would take the national press to notice SB 228 now working through the Kentucky Legislature. It effectively takes the power of filling a U.S. Senate appointment away from the Kentucky governor, Democrat Andy Beshear. The Republican sponsors claim they are just covering the bases, so to speak, with a modern law on U.S. Senate vacancies. There's some truth to that. For example, it's smart to protect Rand Paul's seat in the next few years, if he moves on by taking a Cabinet post in the next administration.
Nonetheless, this has set off speculation that Sen. McConnell is leaving soon in some sort of deal for Biden's resignation, where the Democrats will then briefly have a window to fill the V.P. vacancy.
Sorry, folks. I've known Mitch for 45 years. That's about the last thing he would ever do. Monster ego? Yes. Liberal Republican roots? You bet. He still goes weepy over his old boss, John Sherman Cooper, the Nelson Rockefeller of Kentucky. But he is also an ultra-partisan Republican. He may not care much for what conservatives in the GOP think, but he has mortal contempt for anybody with a D by his name.
