As of this moment, it’s the governor who of course is a Dem. BUT, legislation is quickly working its way through the KY legislature that would, as I understand it, cede the authority to name a replacement to the party that outgoing Senator represents. I’m not entirely sure how that mechanism would work as I haven’t read the bill itself yet.
Even if the Dem governor vetoes that bill - and he almost certainly will - the Republicans hold veto-proof majorities in both houses of the state legislature.

Right now, it would be the governor, who happens to be a democrat. The legislature is preparing legislation to give that power to the Senator’s party. And the appointment is not for rest of the term but until the next election.

Constitutionally, the executive of the state (the governor) is the designee unless the legislature provides otherwise.
