    I believe the Kentucky legislature already took away the governor's power to appoint a replacement.

    What is preventing Beshear from calling their bluff and declaring him unable to fulfill his duties due to being a corpse and call for a general election? A Republican will still likely win, but why not move forward?

    This is what I heard and read.
    The governor gets a short list of Republican replacements and the governor has to pick one from that list provided.

    From Gemini:
    • 2021 reform: The Republican-led legislature limited the governor’s appointment power, requiring the appointee to be chosen from a short list of three names provided by the executive committee of the outgoing senator’s political party factually.co+1. This effectively prevented a cross‑party pick.

    Sent a letter requesting an update? Lol. Oh wow, a request. These demons will just lie if they even bother to acknowledge the request in the 1st place.

    How about you demand to see that he’s fit to serve, and then go do it.
