    brilliant. Reduce the already slim Senate majority in an election year that is building up to be bad for your party. nice.

        I keep getting the vacated seat rules mixed up between the House and Senate.

          I think the rules for vacated seats vary by state, but I could be incorrect.

            House seats are required to be filled by a special election. Senate seats the state can do either an appointed replacement or a special election. Looks like Kentucky, North Dakota, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin went with the special election option.

      He took office in 2023, the Senate terms are 6 years. Whoever the Governor appoints will serve the remainder of that term. They definitely aren’t going to appoint a Democrat.

      The election year has absolutely no bearing on this seat moving sides.

    Now she can go back to shooting puppies and sucking cock or licking pussy. The only two things she’s useful for.

      Not a fan of that casual sexism. We’re better than that.

        Agreed. Sucking cock is a desirable trait. Shooting puppies in the face is not.
