Time to withdraw and retire for recuperation. Bye.
Think strategically. Retire from leadership to sit as a back bench placeholder, perhaps. NOT time YET to retire from Senate. Wait about 10 months for that. If he retires now the current KY Dem governor, who allegedly ran the first big stolen election back in ‘19, appoints the replacement. KY Gov is up this fall. If the mostly red state can beat the cheat then, Mitch could retire next January and be replaced by some kind of Republican. If you want Mitch’s replacement to be a good Republican then run a good one for Gov this fall and back him hard.
