One might reasonably suspect that the GOP Senate leadership is waiting out the August 3rd deadline, so that there will be no need for a special election in Kentucky under that state's rules.
Such suspicion arises from three sources: the continuing lack of information from the Senator's office and family about his condition, the oddly similar communications from Senate sources and Scott Jennings about their recent, claimed discussions with McConnell, and the Kentucky election law itself.
None of this is proof, however, of anything.
Hospitals are forbidden by HIPAA regulations from disclosing specific details of a patient's condition and treatment, unless the patient (or in the event of incapacity, the patient's family) consents.
Which leaves us with naught but speculation, and the claims of clickbait journalists like Laura Loomer, who has been known to trade in off-the-record, unverifiable "news" reports.
In time, we will know what's really happening. But we do not now.
Such a condition is admittedly frustrating for many of us who have grown weary of opaque governance and secrecy, overlaid with unsubstantiated rumor and innuendo, rather than facts.
