Believe it or not, McConnell's home state of Kentucky currently has a Democratic governor, so if McConnell vacated his seat, the governor would appoint a Democrat to fill it until a special election could be held. No way in hell a guy like Mitch would allow something like that to happen while he's still drawing breath.

    I’m pretty sure Kentucky passed a bill saying that the replacement must be of the same party.
