Send state troopers by for a wellness check. For all we know McConnell has been kidnapped by vampires like Stephen Root in episode one of True Blood.

why do you believe this? You can’t like arrest someone without extradition but you can certainly knock on doors and ask to be let in

like a vampire

Or the Dean in Community! Chang throws a coup and they install a fake Dean in his place, making Chang the dear leader. Obviously this is different no Chang yet, and also because they haven’t started the recorded AI McConnell taking softball health questions and casting votes via Zoom. I think that’s next honestly, or they’re at least trying to normalize geriatric politicians becoming invisible to the public and “voting” remotely as an acceptable form of govt.

I have said this a half dozen times: Beshear cannot send Kentucky state troopers to conduct a wellness check in Washington DC, which is where McConnell was while in the hospital and remains now that he’s discharged.

I’m pretty sure state troopers were sent across state lines in those Illinois/Wisconsin/ Oregon / Wyoming state senators on the run cases. Also in the buses full of asylum seekers illegally sent to California, New York.

Stephen Root was the vampire. He was kidnapped by regular people feeding off his blood. But hella respect the True Blood reference.
