Mitch McConnell's dizzy spell has politicos in Kentucky, Washington spinning plans for a successor -
The guessing game in Washington was about who is on deck to lead Senate Republicans if Mr. McConnell goes.
The jockeying for the job goes on quietly behind the scenes in the Senate. Any public moves to line up votes in the GOP conference will wait until Mr. McConnell signals his departure, which he isn’t doing yet. In a statement, his office said Mr. McConnell appreciates the continued support of his colleagues and “plans to serve his full term in the job they overwhelmingly elected him to do.”
Republican Party activists say the Kentucky GOP has long prepared for Mr. McConnell’s departure from the Senate and have told The Times his deteriorating health has long been a concern for those in his inner circle.
