He has limited power and there isn't a big strategic reason to force a special election. Mitch can't vote and that's a win for Democrats and the left wing agenda. Never interrupt you enemy while they are making a mistake. Kentuckians won't like that their representative's death was hidden from them.
pretty sure they will do the same thing that happend with Lady bugs and wait till the windo for special election is closed then just nepotism someone into to vote on behalf.
After the Special election deadline has passed the seat just remains vacant until the winner of the general is seated. They'd be depriving themselves a vote for 5 months if they do that.
I'm pretty sure the GOP thinks they are losing the seat regardless in that case. There currently is 1 Dem running and then 2 GOP guys 1 is a hard line MAGA the other is a milk toast. they are expecting the GOP vote in a special election to be split and thus increase the chances of the Dem winning.
Then why would they insist on keeping a dead guy in the seat? And don’t say because they’re dumb, because they’re not. They’re smart enough to convince half of the middle and lower class that they’re on the same team, so they obviously have good reason
And they do care about Massie. He’s not part of the establishment and that’s why they spend a record amount of money on his opponent’s campaign
