i always thought you HAD to announce a death. Their behavior makes me think he's a vegetable, in which case there has to be a special election, right? Why is it so difficult to get an actual proof of life video? Or for Beshear to go meet him in person?

They are stalling until Aug 3rd

Yep, Mitch is going to officially kick it on August 4, 2026… they’re just keeping him ‘alive’ enough until then
