Kentucky governor won't commit to GOP appointment if McConnell steps down

A recent state law directs the governor to select a Senate appointee from a list of three names submitted by the state executive committee of the outgoing senator’s party.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear this week declined to say whether he would follow a state law that says Republicans would get to choose a replacement for Sen. Mitch McConnell if the Senate GOP leader leaves Congress before the end of his term.

The Democratic governor was asked during a news conference Thursday about making an appointment in the event of a Senate vacancy but said he would not speculate on the matter.

      I disagree with feinstein, she needs to go too. If Biden was doing the same.thing as Mitch, I would say he needs to go as well.

        100%, but I don’t want to hear this from republicans who vote for idiots with no qualifications anyway.

        Anything that keeps them off center enough that they can’t make their normal hypocritical bad faith arguments is fine in my book.
