“Mitch McConnell remaining technically alive for an extra three weeks because of a manipulative procedural maneuver is exactly how he would have wanted to go out,” Morris wrote in a social media post on X.
KY GOP is suspected of actively suppressing any/all news of his passing and/or keeping him on life support until after the first week of August in order to avoid triggering a special election.
Update
NY Post has run a story saying Glitch called the same people who have already claimed without any evidence to have spoken with him in the time since June 14th. He’s definitely fucking dead.
Ding-dong! The Mitch is dead
Which old Mitch? The Wicked Mitch!
Ding-dong! The Wicked Mitch is dead
Wake up, you sleepy head
Rub your eyes, get out of bed
Wake up, the Wicked Mitch is dead
He's gone where the goblins go
Below, below, below
Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out
Ding-dong, the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low
Let them know the Wicked Mitch is dead!
Ya likely not, it’s a real shame. My mother was fan of horses, and we vacationed in Kentucky once, 40 some odd years ago, it was a nice place back then. At least to a kid it was.

The gov should replace him now and then let the pieces fall where they may.
GOP will complain but will be unable to produce McConnell

The quote I lifted is from Clarence Darrow's 1932 memoir.

He might be dead, he might be braindead and on life support, he might be recovering. Until we see a body, it’s impossible to know.

Ostensibly they are avoiding announcing it to avoid a special election. Even in death he is still gaming the system

I dunno why they're bothering, his replacement is guaranteed to be a Republican.

It seems like they're trying to keep Massie specifically from going for the special election, because he defied Trump on the Epstein files.
