While Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell continues to mull over whether he’s dead or not, his big Schrödinger’s Congressman act seems poised to cost Donald Trump his big SAVE Act potentially.
It has been 43 days since Kentucky’s biggest embarrassment suffered a severe medical emergency (the details of which are muddy and only get muddier) at his Washington, D.C. home that resulted in McConnell being rushed to the hospital by paramedics and all but never heard from again. McConnell’s team, and eventually (allegedly) McConnell himself, have trickled out small, increasingly vague and bizarre statements and photos that only seem to successfully talk around the point while never actually getting to it — When, if ever, is Mitch McConnell coming back to work?
Trump and his Administration have remained equally vague and unconcerned about the true state of McConnell’s health and whether or not he will return to Congress, likely because the idea of a Special Election or a replacement for McConnell chosen by Kentucky’s Democratic governor makes them want to pay a second visit to the breakfast.
But push is quickly coming to shove, whether they like it or not.
