This crap is pure farce at this point.


As others have indicated, this is sort of longstanding tradition. Usually, it's the wife that holds the "placeholder" type slot for a dead Senator. It's nothing to freak out about - at this point. Election is in November.

Rose Long became Senator, finishing his term, after Huey was killed.

...and it's a long-standing tradition. It's happened in Louisiana on numerous occasions.

Does Darline have kids?

ETA, I thought you were referencing Russell, but he actually got elected to the other seat.

She won his seat in the House of Representatives in an election. People cannot be appointed to House seats only Senate seats.

The primary is August 11th, runoff if necessary will be August 25th… then the election on November 3rd.

If a “real candidate” were to fill in, they’d have less time to go out and earn votes.

His sister is fine to keep the seat warm and vote as her brother would have voted.

This is NOT a big deal. It is literally a very short term placeholder that is better relegated to someone happy to BE temporary AND act as the office holder would act.

Good points, especially about the contenders need to campaign, however, being in office has never really stopped that before, but it’s a good point, if that were a real job.

You're only allowed to be outraged if you think the Senate would do anything the next 6 months anyway.

I know right, I mean they can still do nothing, whether she’s filling in or not.

McConnell’s wife will probably be named his replacement on August 4th.

what the frick are you talking about. American freedom is at stake and youre cool with gifting a SENATE seat to the woman married to the biggest RHINO in Washington? No one elected her. No one knows her politics.
