| Info | Addison Mitchell McConnell, Jr.
Born on February 20, 1942, and raised in South Louisville, McConnell's leadership ability was recognized early on as student body president in high school; College of Arts and Sciences student body president at the University of Louisville (where he received a B.A. with honors); and at the University of Kentucky's College of Law where he was elected president of the Student Bar Association. McConnell's political ascension continued as an intern with Senator John Sherman Cooper, chief legislative assistant to Senator Marlow Cook, and deputy assistant attorney general under President Gerald R. Ford. Before being elected to the United States Senate, McConnell served as County Judge-Executive in Jefferson County, Kentucky from 1978 to 1984.
His landslide victory on November 5, 1996, made Mitch McConnell the only Republican in Kentucky history to be elected to three full terms in the United States Senate. In fact, until Jim Bunning's election to the Senate in 1998, McConnell, Kentucky's senior senator, had been the only Kentucky Republican to win a statewide race since 1967.
Senator McConnell is married to Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao. Previously, Secretary Chao served as president of the United Way of America and director of the Peace Corps. He is the father of three daughters: Elly, Claire, and Porter.

Same thing here, can someone explain why there are two different races for 2014 with two different results? It makes zero sense

Are the job approval polls on here strictly Kentucky or nation wide?

Theoretically, you could put the nation-wide ones in, but we haven't and I'm not sure if or how it would display. I know they wouldn't in the main Job Approval Polls area. I think there would be a second area that said USA in a column. Like the states do on Trump's page.

That is not just exhaustion. Alot of armchair doctors are saying this looks like a Transient Ischemic Attack. He needs to get it checked out right away.

The fact that he walked off and responded probably means the worst has been avoided. Still if he's not at his doctors getting it checked out - seems like it would be a mistake.

They should both resign.* And Trump should drop out of the race. As should Asa Hutchinson.
*Yes, that's correct...I unironically believe Kamala Harris would make a better President than Joe Biden. In fairness, almost anyone would.

Just curious, is this related to a belief in age maximums for running for public office?
I find it interesting that NJ has an age max for Supreme Court Justices. I think its the only State I know that has something like that. And given that NJ is such a liberal state, if it hasn't been struck down there....well you get it.

We should have mandatory retirement for judges at age 75, like in Canada.

No, I don't believe in mandatory retirement ages, or anything of the kind.
I believe in people choosing to cease electing dotards.

More details on Chao death have to come to light.
Angela Chao — billionaire sister of former Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao and sister-in-law of Mitch McConnell — died last month when her Tesla Model X sank in a manmade pond on her 900-acre Texas ranch. She was trapped in the car as it flooded, unable to open the unpowered doors, as friends and rescue crews tried to find a way to break in. Now, a report from the Wall Street Journal claims the Tesla’s touchscreen-based shifting interface may have contributed to her getting in the water to begin with. https://jalopnik.com/a-tesla-touchscreen-mix-up-killed-angela-chao-report-1851327161
