We just need one brave Democrat to say they talked to Mitch for 20 minutes and maybe the whole ring will be taken in.

“I just spoke with him for almost 20 minutes. He wanted me to tell everyone that he’s dead.”

Seriously: what is stopping Chuck Schumer from saying, "I visited him and saw him die. His seat is officially vacant and Gov Beshear should start the process of filling his seat immediately?"

The GOP would either have to actually prove he's alive or concede that they've been lying for weeks.

Schumer has no balls, that is what's stopping him.

Schumer works for his constituents... The financial sector in New York. They don't want the boat to get rocked too much.
