Governor Beshear has stated previously that he won’t abide by that law as he considers it unconstitutional per the Kentucky Constitution. He’ll appoint a democrat placeholder, or likely will appoint himself as the replacement. Regardless, next election Beshear will run for the seat. He can’t be beaten in Kentucky with all the state workers,teachers, and union folks behind him.
You know you just described a tyrant unfit to rule a school crosswalk, right?
He had an approval rating in the mid 60s for whatever reason. He puts on that “Kentucky boy” act but is far enough to the Left to run for mayor of San Francisco...but has managed to brand himself much differently.
I think he may have his sights higher than a Senate seat.
