I’m not familiar with KY’s Constitution. Does it say the Governor will appoint the US Senator in a vacancy?
EDIT: Ah I found where there is some argument for the Governor having the authority to appoint a state officer in a vacancy. It’d be up to the courts, I guess.
they did to ensure Beshear , being a dem cant use his full gov powers to better the state. and him being a GOV of kentucky isnt by accident either. the previous GOV was a republican and he almost ruined the state ecnomically, so they needed a DEM to stall the collapse, or reverse the downturn, also as a way to blame the Dem in charge.
They changed Kentucky law in 2024. Now the Governor must call for a special election to fill a vacant Senate seat.
Kentucky law doesn’t override Kentucky Constitution.
