  • Depends on your definition of being dead.

    Is he brain dead? Maybe

    Is he on life support where blood is being pumped through his corpse and a nurse comes in to turn him over twice a day to prevent infection from bedsores? Probably

    Is he ever returning to the Senate? No.

    I see a bit of a silver lining to him rotting in a hospital so the seat can’t be filled. Sure, the Kentucky governor could replace him with a Democrat, but Dems still don’t have the votes to do anything meaningful, and it might just prop up some awful centrist, or reflect badly on the governor if he selected a lame replacement. Some people say “he should make Thomas Massie senator” but that guy voted with Republicans the vast majority of the time, except for the Epstein investigation and the Iran war. Otherwise that guy is just like the rest of them catering to billionaires and corporations.

    I used to think McConnell would be declared dead or leaving office on August 4 but I see benefits to him being absent and occupying the seat without being able to participate and not allowing anyone to step in to aid in the downfall of the US.
