    Default Manchin

    If it turns out that some Republican senators end up resigning or put in jail for their involvement in the insurrection Manchin is going to be less an issue

    If they are arrested and prosecuted, won’t they be replaced by another Republican?

    Doesn't it work where, if one is removed, the governor of their state appoints a temp person, then a special election is held for the permanent replacement?

    I guess we can hope that the replacement would be from a different cut of cloth

    Really. If this does happen, it will be interesting to see if the would-be replacement will avoid anything to do with #TRE45ON, or will he/she embrace him in order to win over his cult?
