Kentucky GOP lawmakers remove Democratic governor's role in filling US Senate vacancies
Republican lawmakers in Kentucky have removed any role for the Democratic governor in filling a U.S. Senate vacancy.
McConnell says he will serve out his seventh Senate term, adding in the same interview on WHAS-AM: “I don’t know how many times I can say that. But that’s exactly what I’m going to do.” He offered no hints whether he will seek reelection in 2026, but McConnell has continued raising campaign funds for himself.
Rudy previously said the legislation has nothing to do with McConnell but instead reflects his policy stance on how an empty Senate seat should be filled.
It would be nice to hear what somebody from Kentucky thinks of this. Too bad Roger is not around.

Did Trump Nod Off?
Some observers at the trial say Trump may have nodded off during the morning’s proceedings, including New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, who noted that Trump’s “head keeps dropping down and his mouth goes slack” before being “jolted back awake” after his lawyer passed him several notes.
HuffPost’s Sara Boboltz is in the courthouse and confirmed Trump had his eyes closed at certain points, but couldn’t definitively say the former president had actually fallen asleep.

Just when you thought things could not get any crazier. (or more desperate)
RFK Jr. says Trump allies asked him to be VP
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday alleged in a social media post that allies of former President Trump reached out to him about joining the Republican presidential ticket as Trump’s running mate, something the former president’s campaign has denied.
Kennedy’s assertion comes as Trump has in recent weeks more directly attacked Kennedy as a liberal as he pursues his independent presidential bid.
“President Trump calls me an ultra-left radical. I’m soooo liberal that his emissaries asked me to be his VP. I respectfully declined the offer,” Kennedy wrote on the social platform X. “I am against President Trump, and President Biden can’t win. Judging by his new website, it looks like President Trump knows who actually can beat him.”
A top Trump aide on Monday disputed that Kennedy was approached for the role.
“Re-upping this from January … was true then and it’s true now,” Chris LaCivita wrote on X, calling Kennedy “a leftie loonie that would never be approached to be on the ticket..sorry!”
Make America Great Again Inc., a pro-Trump super PAC, launched a website on Monday labeling Kennedy Jr. a “radical liberal” that highlights his views on tax policy, gun laws and the climate.
Make America Great Again Inc., a pro-Trump super PAC, launched a website Monday dubbing the scion of America’s most famous political family “Radical F—ing Kennedy,” The Post has learned.
The New York Post reported in January that the former president’s team made attempts at recruiting Kennedy as a running mate. The New York Times reported last week that Trump himself had floated the idea of Kennedy joining the ticket, though it was not believed to be a serious suggestion.
Trump has in recent weeks blasted Kennedy on social media as a liberal candidate and has suggested the lawyer and environmentalist could be politically useful to his campaign against Biden.
“RFK Jr. is the most Radical Left Candidate in the race, by far. He’s a big fan of the Green New Scam, and other economy killing disasters,” Trump wrote on Truth Social in late March. “I guess this would mean he is going to be taking votes from Crooked Joe Biden, which would be a great service to America.”
Political strategists have warned that in a close race between President Biden and Trump, an independent or third-party candidate like Kennedy could pull enough votes in crucial states to tip the election in one candidate’s favor.
A New York Times/Siena College poll published Saturday found Trump polling at 46 percent support to Biden’s 45 percent, with the president closing the gap from February, when Trump had a 5 percentage point lead.

Speaker Johnson calls ouster threat ‘absurd’
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Tuesday pushed back on the growing ouster effort against him, calling it “absurd” and “not helpful.”
The comment came shortly after Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) announced that he would co-sponsor Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) motion to vacate resolution, becoming the first lawmaker to publicly back the Georgia Republican’s measure.
“It is, in my view, an absurd notion that someone would bring a vacate motion when we are simply here trying to do our jobs,” Johnson said at a press conference in the Capitol. “It is not helpful to the cause, it is not helpful to the country, it does not help the House Republicans advance our agenda which is in the best interest of the American people here — a secure border, sound governance — and it’s not helpful to the unity that we have in the body.”
“I am not concerned about this, I am going to do my job, and I think that’s what the American people expect of us,” he later added.
The Speaker also said he would not resign from the Speakership after Massie called on him to step down during a closed-door conference meeting Tuesday morning.
“I am not resigning,” he told reporters.
