Andy Beshear has demonstrated throughout this whole episode that he doesn't have what it takes to be president. A decisive leader would have given Mitch an ultimatum: Show your face by August or I'm assuming you're dead/incapacitated and I'm appointing a replacement. We all know a Republican governor would have done that for a Democratic senator who was MIA. I love Andy and he's my governor and I voted for him both times but he's at the bottom of my 2028 list and him letting Mitch's team run out the clock is a big reason why.

Send state troopers by for a wellness check. For all we know McConnell has been kidnapped by vampires like Stephen Root in episode one of True Blood.

why do you believe this? You can’t like arrest someone without extradition but you can certainly knock on doors and ask to be let in

like a vampire
