Unconfirmed rumors have stated that McConnell is being kept on life support to prevent a run off for his vacated seat prior to the Aug 3 deadline. After eyewitnesses accounts of McConnell receiving CPR and being rushed to the hospital, his wife, who has power of attorney over him and is the only one that can remove him from life support, departed for China a few days after his admittance to the hospital.
Add to that that his office has remained quiet about his status and that yesterday, his social media pages have been removed only adds to the suspicion that he is basically dead The issue now is that Kentucky should have a special election for his seat, which should be between Charles Booker, a Democrat, and Andy Barr, who was the presumed replacement for Weekend at Bernies stand in, McConnell.
Thomas Massie could enter the race as an independent, which could take votes from Barr since Massie is a more centralist GOP candidate than the Maga supported Barr. Theories run rampant that the Maga led GOP will keep McConnell on life support until the cut off date of Aug 3 to prevent Booker/Massie from taking office.
