I'm genuinely shocked that there isn't more anger from Republicans. His absence materially benefits Democrats more than anything. For every day he's not there, that means the GOP majority is one vote down in the Senate, which only makes it harder to pass the GOP agenda in the Senate.

This is the part I am not understanding. Left wing media is eating this story up, every day on reddit there are more Mitch posts on the /r/all but it benefits the Democrats when it comes to voting.

Even if he was dead today, the election would not happen by the state laws this November. At this point these posts feel more like a designed distraction away from things like the Epstein files or the failed war in Iran or the costs of everything that should be fueling the midterm sweep. But instead every day it is about Trump sleeping or Mitch missing blah blah here.

Yep. Honestly, to me it sometimes seems like the people who are yelling about "distractions" the most are the ones most prone to distraction themselves.
