Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear this week declined to say whether he would follow a state law that says Republicans would get to choose a replacement for Sen. Mitch McConnell if the Senate GOP leader leaves Congress before the end of his term.

The Democratic governor was asked during a news conference Thursday about making an appointment in the event of a Senate vacancy but said he would not speculate on the matter.

    If that were to happen perhaps it would be best to let the people decide in the next election in Mitch’s honor.

      There should be a special referendum, to honor Mitch’s respect for the will of the people. There should even be a same day voter sign up.
