Local, state, federals. It's all the same. At the same time, I've heard politicians say the last couple of days that Mitch, Autopen, Pelosi and so many others are the reason we need term limits. We do have term limits. It's called elections and voters are saying NO to term limits apparently. Those in Mitch's inner circle who claim to have had lengthy productive discussions with the guy leave out the part that the "discussions" are most likely one way. Rs have been critical of the way Ds handled Biden and made fun of the scarcity of the gay ayatollah but are playing the same game with this situation. Rand Paul, you have anything to say? The voters of Kentucky, anything? You voted for Mitch, not his handlers who want to retain their power. A short video of Mitch sitting upright saying hello to the nation would do.

Yes, it is highly important to the GOP. Senate Republicans hold a narrow 53-47 majority. McConnell’s extended hospitalization and voting absence complicate their ability to pass key legislation, such as defense spending. Keeping him in place preserves this advantage and prevents legislative gridlock.Additionally, due to a 2024 Kentucky law championed by Republicans, if a Senate vacancy occurs, it could trigger a complex special election process rather than an interim appointment by the state's Democratic Governor, Andy Beshear. Avoidance of this situation is critical for the GOP to manage party unity and maintain stability
