Democrats only control the Senate by 51 to 49. (https://ballotpedia.org/Election_results,_2022:_U.S._Senate). Could it flip to 48 to 52? Why is no one talking about the Brain Dead Senators issue? Even Heels Up's vote can't fix that.
I know that there are a boatload of RINOs in the Senate, but they seem easier to deal with than Democrats (Example: McCarthy. I wouldn't trust him, but...) Does this mean a successful impeachment trial against Biden? Then what exactly do we do with Heels Up? She seems to lack legal status to be president because of her parents. Does that mean McCarthy becomes president? Inquiring minds want to know.
What think you?
The replacements for Senators is appointed by the State governor. PA and CA are both democrat governors.
Isn't there some point in the timeline when it has to go to a special election?
In 37 states, including CA and PA, U.S. Senate vacancies are temporarily filled by gubernatorial appointment. The appointee serves until the next statewide general election is held; the winner in that election serves out the remainder of the term.
