Nope. The KY Gov. is required by law to select a replacement from the same party.

Does he have to pick from a small group given to him BY real Republicans? Or can he choose whomever he pleases who claims to be nominally, a Republican? What I’ve read seems unclear...

I’m pretty sure he has a list of Super RINOS to play with!

He’s just talking about stepping down as minority leader, not resigning from the Senate.

The Republican-controlled KY Legislature passed that law just 2 or 3 years ago with the Turtle in mind. It is untested. Word is that the Dem governor would appoint a Democrat and force the Republican state legislature to fight it in court.

Any law against a Democrat switching to the Republican party beforehand?
