    Can someone explain how this blocks Massie from disrupting a seat?

    First of all, isn’t Massie a republican? (Though redeemingly anti-trump)

    Second, doesn’t this just push the election back a couple months? Are they just trying to delay the inevitable?

      Massie is the other KY senator, not the governor. Andy Beshear is the governor, and he’s a Democrat.

      A few months gives them time to purity test a few viable candidates and astroturf them to the voters.

        That’s good and all, but what does that have to do with a special election to replace McConnell? That’s what I don’t get
