<p>Governor Andy Beshear (D-KY) has so far not committed to replacing Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) with another Republican, should the Senate Minority Leader&#8217;s health become a persistent problem.</p>
<p>Beshear <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/09/03/andy-beshear-noncommittal-about-replacing-mitch-mcconnell-with-goper/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">evaded the question</a> about a possible Senate vacancy — pointing out the fact that McConnell has given no indication he intends to retire before the end of his current term — during a Thursday press conference.</p>
<p>&#8220;There is no Senate vacancy. Senator McConnell has said he’s going to serve out his term, and I believe him, so I’m not going to speculate about something that hasn’t happened and isn’t going to happen,&#8221; Beshear said.</p>
<p>The governor&#8217;s comments come amid speculation about <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gop-senator-provides-update-on-mcconnell-after-second-freeze-up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">McConnell&#8217;s health</a> and calls for his resignation after he froze up on camera on at least two instances. But McConnell, who recently suffered a concussion as the result of a fall, has said that he has simply experienced a few brief moments of light-headedness.</p>
<p>&#8220;He was in good shape,&#8221; Senator Mike Rounds (R-S.C.) said. &#8220;He was direct. He said he fell. He said, &#8216;I had that concussion.&#8217; And he said, &#8216;They warned me that I would be lightheaded in the future and that I have got to be aware of it.&#8217; He said, ‘It happened twice.’ He said, ‘It just so happens I’m doing it in front of reporters.&#8217; But he felt good yesterday. He said he’s got to watch his hydration levels.&#8221;</p>
<p>But should McConnell choose to vacate his seat, Beshear is bound by a <a href="https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/recorddocuments/bill/21RS/sb228/bill.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021 law</a> to replace him with a member of his own party — a law that was passed over Beshear&#8217;s protests and his veto.</p>
<p>Beshear&#8217;s complaint was that the law, which also lays out the procedure for special elections, was unconstitutional.</p>
<p>&#8220;The bill therefore upends a century of precedent by delegating the power to select the representative of all Kentuckians to an unelected, unaccountable committee of an organization that represents only a fraction of Kentuckians,&#8221; he said.</p>
