They're trying to pull some shenanigans with McConnell, and whatever forces exist in the universe said no way José, I'll just take another one.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I wonder what the process in South Carolina is to replace him. I believe he was up for re-election this November. Will his seat be filled temporarily by the governor? Will his name remain on the ballot? I believe he already won the Republican Primary election in South Carolina, so how will another Republican candidate run? Anyone here familiar with South Carolina elections?

Two Republican leaders?! didn't I read about the White House fortifying the doors and building a secret hospital?
And we attacked Venezuela and Iran, threatened Greenland and Cuba, and let's just say we are not making friends.
Should we celebrate his death? No But we can fully and completely agree he hurt the country in more ways than one, was a giant hypocrite, licked boots like no one could, and did celebrate in other's deaths.
No celebration. I do have more important things to knock out today.
Shit, I can celebrate this scumbag's death AND do laundry.
I think we are all waiting for the pedo-king to die now.. Graham is just the appetizer
