Reports citing emergency dispatch audio said responders were called to McConnell’s residence on June 14 for an unconscious patient and later discussed “CPR in progress” for a possible cardiac emergency.

Oh! So, we’ve escalated from him being found unconscious and rushed to the hospital to active CPR? Wouldn’t it have been something if the Republican stance of allowing doctors to decline giving medical care on moral grounds ended up being applied against the interests of the long-term cancer that is McConnell?

    When the KY Governor went Dem the KY Cons tried to strip his ability to appoint vacant Congress seats. This was overturned in court.

    However they did add a rule that the Governor could not replace someone within 95 days of an election.

    95 days before 11/3/2026, the midterms, is 7/31/2026. I imagine they will use the “he’s recovering” line until 8/1/2026 so the Cons have tighter control over congress. Or at the very least, they are trying to chew up as much time as possible before he gets replaced.
