brilliant. Reduce the already slim Senate majority in an election year that is building up to be bad for your party. nice.

    He took office in 2023, the Senate terms are 6 years. Whoever the Governor appoints will serve the remainder of that term. They definitely aren't going to appoint a Democrat.

    The election year has absolutely no bearing on this seat moving sides.

    No way Oklahoma’s governor is going to appoint a Democrat though

    I keep getting the vacated seat rules mixed up between the House and Senate.

    I think the rules for vacated seats vary by state, but I could be incorrect.

    House seats are required to be filled by a special election. Senate seats the state can do either an appointed replacement or a special election. Looks like Kentucky, North Dakota, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin went with the special election option.

    Now she can go back to shooting puppies and sucking cock or licking pussy. The only two things she's useful for.

    My mom is not political, I can't overstate how not-plugged-in she is.

    The #1 reason to put women in every single office/ position of authority is because men would finally be willing to hold officials accountable.

    I think he's jealous of the sex jet, lol.

    Edit: Nope, it's because the new guy doesn't mind violence against women too. See the edit in the body of the post.

    It won't flip the Senate or anything, but it says a lot that they're willing to shave their minuscule majority to get him in the position.

    That's not how it works.

    Mullin took office in 2023, the Senate terms are 6 years. Whoever the Governor appoints will serve the remainder of that term. They definitely aren’t going to appoint a Democrat.

    The election year has absolutely no bearing on this seat moving sides.

    There will be a gap between Mullin taking the appointment and a new appointment coming in. During that time the GoP majority will be a vote short, which is a problem when they keep having to have Vance come in to break tie votes on their major policies.

    The gap could be as small as almost being non-existent.

    Trump said Mullin is taking over March 31st. So that's basically a month for the Governor to find a replacement that requires no approvals of any kind. They could simply grab a previous failed Republican candidate from last election, that's what most Governors do.

    From the other posts I've read it looks like he's moved her to a similar position with probably less oversight so my smile dropped pretty quick :/

    Imagine she's getting her Severance package in the form of polymarket and Kashi bets.
