See No 5. The KY GOP nominates three and Beshear has to choose one of them. My hope is for the AG, but I don’t think Beshear would appoint him because that would give a boost to an up and coming young black conservative
I don’t believe that became law, or the (D) Governor didnt sign it into law. Could be wrong.
So Cameron will run against Beshear instead.
Righto.
This question about the rules / procedure for a replacement for McConnell has been beat to death (with correct answers) on FR ever since the Turtle’s last fall, and still a large number of FReepers seem to have missed it. :-(
The KY AG, Cameron, is running against Beshear for Governor, so if Beshear thinks Cameron is a serious threat, he might nominate Cameron for Senate, to sideline him. That assuming Beshear doesn’t have an eventual Senate run in mind.
Cameron is handsome, gives a good speech, and seems to have his heart in the right place(s?), but, as AG and / or as a strategist he’s not impressed me so much. Perhaps FReepers from KY can add more. Kelly Craft (former UN ambassador for Trump) is running for Governor too, and has been saying some interesting things, such as “Don’t touch the 2nd Amendment”, and (paraphrasal) “dismantle this woke KY Dept. of Education.”
Tactician that he is, McConnell might try to hold out until the May KY primary, as depending on how that turns out might have an effect on choices for his replacement.
Bashers is a hardcore mini-MARXIST. He is the enemy. Time to keep him in his cage.
