KY Gov Beshear needs to get on with replacing Mitch McConnell with a Dem senator now! There’s been no proof of life by McConnell’s staff or family after repeated requests by the Governor. #Blue
Mueller, She WroteUPDATE: I've been sharing that Beshear has until August 4 to appoint a dem to McConnell's seat. That's not correct. There is no cutoff date. The August 4th date came from this language in the KY constitution, but it only applies if Mitch's term wouldn't end this year, and only for special elections.
