      I hope the Senator recovers quickly, and without sequelae. Wow, age 49.

      That said, since you titled your thread about the senate majority, I'll be interested to see the political implications of it.

      In New Mexico, a senate vacancy is filled by gubernatorial appointment. Governor Grisham is a Democrat, so I doubt it'll have much long-lasting impact, politically speaking.

      OTOH, until that happens, is Mitch in charge?

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        He's supposed to make a full recovery. I'm guessing this is just temporary.

        AmIright?

          With a cerebellar infarct, I wouldn't be surprised if he does have a full and mostly complete recovery, perhaps with some minor effects on balance, coordination, etc.

          I have no idea what the rehab is like for someone with a cerebellar stroke. Probably less than with a cerebral infarct.

          Shouldn't affect his cognition, so he might return pretty quickly and continue rehab in DC.

          But, returning to politics, how long before he gets back to the senate? Two weeks? Two months? Six months? What will New Mexico's governor do? Hold the seat? Appoint a replacement?

            I think appointing someone else in anything less than 6 weeks to 2 months is political barbarism.

              Does he have to resign first?

                    It may well be.

                    But it does mean that nothing controversial can pass for a few weeks, further complicating a few things.

                      Romney’s out now with Covid. I think it’s currently 49-49 and Harris can break a tie.

                      Though, to your point, Romney is almost certainly going to return before this guy.

                        Nothing controversial has been able to pass for a while… Build Back Better, the Election Reform Bills, the Filibuster change…
