From a couple of years ago.
The fix is in.
yep, who fills the seat?
When you go to the article from the Hill, 2minutes ago it says McConnell to return to Congress after 5 week absence. So looks like no retirement.
Looks like the fix is NOT in:
63.200 United States Senator — Procedures for filling of vacancy.
