The Governor has the mandate now. Call that fuck to heel.

    Currently there's no legal way for a state to recall their senators. States have tried in the past, but all the attempts were defeated in the courts.

    In reality, even with a hypothetical friendly court, there's no way the case would make it all the way through the appeals process before the senator's term was over and they were either voted out or reelected.

    Honestly, this is a good thing. It means that no Republican governor in a trifecta state can recall a Democratic senator.
