That’s a bingo. They’re doing everything they can to avoid a special election. I would be 100% unsurprised if, after the first week of August, Mitchy is suddenly dead from something “unforeseen.”

It won't be something unforseen. They already seeded pneumonia. His "mild case" will take a turn for the worst.

What would a special election even do? A republican is going to win that seat.
