[b]Beshear Wont Commit to Appointing Republican[/b]
After Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) experienced his second freezing episode in five weeks, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) is declining to say whether he would follow a state law requiring him to appoint a Republican in the event of a Senate vacancy, the [link=https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/09/01/kentucky-governor-beshear-mcconnell/]Washington Post[/link] reports.
Said Beshear: There is no Senate vacancy. Senator McConnell has said hes going to serve out his term, and I believe him, so Im not going to speculate about something that hasnt happened and isnt going to happen.
That’s a misleading headline. The reason he doesn’t commit to it because as of now there is no question of anyone being appointed.
