Yes. Burn the day. Knock on the doors. Bring the media. Are we sure a Republican would win that special election? Or what if Thomas Massie ran? Why would the governor wait in this case?
So take the media to show them that you burned a day for a photo op when you knew beforehand that hospital staff(not political actors) would turn you away because everyone knows that laws and hospital policies about privacy exist. Get the media to record you being a fool
There would not be a special election. And even if there were it doesn’t really matter who would win. Massie winning would not matter.
There’s *only* downside here. And it comes with Beshear being impeached. Why exactly do you want him removed from office, a D gov in a red state
