If Mitch McConnell is dead, we need to verify the actual date of death and if it’s before that special election deadline, they should have one anyway even if it’s already beyond that date.
He would have loved it if we broke the rules on a technicality to get what we wanted.

The special election thing was Republicans trying to limit the power of the incoming Democratic Governor.
It’s likely unconstitutional, and Bashear has indicated that he’ll ignore it when the time comes. Also the Republicans are terrified of any election at this point.
They delay now to barely “hold” the seat, hoping that Trump somehow becomes competent before November.

They don’t care or need him to suddenly become competent. They’re hoping he brutally takes all power, competency be damned.
