Holy shit Lindsey Gram is dead? Thank fuck he didn't live as long as the other Senators, the young age of 71. Does that bring the total down to 51 pending 50 if Mitch Kicks it? Edit: Nope, 52, Vance's vacancy was filled last year.

    August 3rd is the last day the governor can call a special election. Otherwise it's just combined with the general election.

    I'm not sure if this is even that advantageous for the Republicans. Even during a special election a Republican will likely win, even if it's a less Trumpy one, still a Republican. Seems better than an empty seat.

    Unless they have reason to believe a dem would outperform in a special election.

    Also since there has been confusion in other threads, Kentucky does not allow the governor to fill a vacant senate seat by appointments, he can only call a special election

    Mitch is very very dead. They’re just waiting until it’s politically convenient to announce it.
