They’re going to stall and not announce his death / unfitness until after August 11th.
You see, Kentucky has a law where if one of their senators resigns more than 3 months prior to the end of their term, a special election is called to replace them. If they resign less than 3 months prior to the end of their term, a committee of their party members appoints their replacement.
The GOP is scared that if Kentucky has a special election, Thomas Massie (The very popular anti-MAGA Kentucky congressman who crossed the aisle to enable the passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act) would almost certainly run to fill McConnell’s seat and stymie their national agenda. They want McConnell’s official death / unfitness announcement to be after August 11th so that they can appoint a safe insider to fill the seat until November. That’s when the actual senate election is scheduled to happen, and the filing deadline to run in that was about a month ago back when McConnell was still publicly active. So they’re going to Weekend At Bernies the corpse of McConnell until then which is likely illegal, but justice under a racist genocidal oligarchy is usually a one-way street.
By the way this 3-month rule was only passed in 2024 and McConnell publicly supported it.
