He should have just retreated into his shell and slid down.

I suspect our Lord is trying to tell Mitch something but Mitch is to prideful to listen.

Here’s how Kentucky’s law works for filling U.S. Senate vacancies

Whereas state law previously allowed the sitting governor to make his or her own appointment to fill a Senate vacancy with no restrictions, Senate Bill 228 passed by the Kentucky legislature in the 2021 session changed that.

Under the amended law, the governor now may only choose from three names recommended by the executive committee of the outgoing senator’s state party, and must make that selection within 21 days of receiving the list from the party.

Video at X, he actually fell up the steps, does not look bad, very minor fall.

But it highlights, as a senior, do not get on the floor without a plan to get up.

“Power” must be a helluva drug.
These geriatrics cannot get enough and never let go unless forced to.
They have millions in the bank but still spend their days in argument and strife.
Sad, pathetic, and insane.

Stepping down is a leading occasion of falls for the elderly.

Hopefully there's somebody there to help him back up. Falls can be very dangerous for turtles and the elderly.
