McConnell Prepares To Leave Senate With Local Power Move To Choose Successor
March 9, 2021

Written by Martin Walsh

OPINION
This article contains commentary which reflects the author's opinion



Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is making a local power move to help choose his successor and is raising many questions in the process.

The 79-year-old Kentucky lawmaker has been in the Senate since 1985, and his recent moves have fueled rumors that he may be planning for his retirement.

Andy Beshear, a Democrat, is currently the governor of Kentucky.

Beshear has the power to pick a replacement senator should something happen to a sitting senator.

So the Kentucky GOP, with help from McConnell, wants to change state law so that the legislature picks a replacement senator until an election can be held.

McConnell, according to reports, has even made a shortlist to choose from should he not serve out his full term.

So kind of him to wait until the wheels are about to come off before decided to retire with his family fortune.

How will this new law get passed in Kentucky without Beshear's signature?
Do the KY Republican legislators have the ability to do this?

Yes. He played BOTH SIDES....whomever was in power, he supported.  He supported Obama and claimed he did not know, 'why' they would not pass some items in SENATE.  McConnell..did not know!

Look at how the never Trumper RINO'S are crash and burning!  The p.c. ho's thought they were untouchable, and they can't even get any respect form the democrats they've been in bed with!  L.Graham was upset that people in the airport followed him and called him TRAITOR.  They can't comprehend that people see them for what they are! 
They thought they were genius's and found out the hard way they were the stupids

Uh-huh.

So he gets the legislature to change state law.

The governor vetoes the bill.

McTurtle got the votes to override?

But I can't see the people who own his Chinese agent wife letting him step down.

The GOP is not the party leadership.  The GOP is the party MEMBERSHIP.   The members need to kick the leaders out if they leaders are going the wrong way.  No coddling allowed.

Yes, he did.  People blame Trump for his choosing administration foul-ups when Mitch refused to support the very choices Trump wanted.  There was a very small list that Mitch would approve to bring forward for a vote.

“McConnell is interested in his legacy, and by picking his replacement, he would cement his vision in Kentucky and national politics,”

Uh, Mitch's legacy is already in the toilet.  NT will select replacements with addresses in the Swamp.  I agree, let the seat stay vacant until voters have a say.
