McConnell’s health scare puts focus on shadow race to replace him
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) health scare has Republican senators wondering whether the 81-year-old lawmaker will stay in the top job beyond the 2024 election and who might eventually replace him.

They'll replace him with the newer model - a racist, elderly 75 year old man.
That's too much of a risk for the GOP. At that age they're more able to molest the interns again.
Best to replace Mitch with someone who is uncertain if lemonade will catch on and is skeptical of non-wooden dental implants.
Don't worry, they'll find an asshole to replace him. It is way easier than to find a non-asshole in that party, anyway.
They don't even have to work very hard given Rand fucking Paul still has a seat. May as well just fly over a Russian oligarch to replace him.
That would streamline GOP propaganda in quite a way, yes.
Might be hard to find another asshole who’s as ruthless about loopholes and dirty tricks. I’d say there’s a 90% chance that replacing him weakens the republicans.
Lets hope for the best (for humanity, not for them).
I'm sure they'll find an asshole to replace him. I'm just afraid they'll find a worse asshole than him.
Well, that's always the risk with the GOP.
I wonder which asshole is more likely to replace him in the current senators.
Rick Scott?
Health scare? What health scare? Most pleasant video I have seen in a while.
I watch it on loop every morning. Sunshine and bluebirds in my heart while I sip my coffee, every time. 🤗
Whomever they get to replace him has a big shell to fill. Perhaps Bowser is available? The internet tells me he's only 34.
"Impeaches, peaches, peaches, peaches, peaches..."
I think Bowser's a little busy being the president of Nintendo of America.
"Shadow race" definitely sounds like democracy to me.
The shadow part is usually implied, I'm surprised to see it actually written
Yep, all of the sudden they're worried! Someone must've found Mitch's horcruxes!
My vote's for Lord Buckethead.
Although at this rate, Mitch will be replaced by a bucket filled with his ashes.
Shadow Race… really? Right when we are finally about to be rid of this reptilian‽ What’s next for the GOP? LGM? Sentient slime mold?
This kind of Shadow?
It is time for him to retire. Glad the race is being focused on.
I figured he’d just don the ring wraith attire and his corporeal form would fade into shadow
I'm expecting John Thune v. Rick Scott as the main fight.
