Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person.
Not to worry. He will still represent his state by continuing to vote in upcoming elections.
I thought the governor was supposed to appoint a replacement? Now the dems have another election to steal.
I don’t see a problem. He’s been reelected. Just prop him up in a chair with his name in front of one of those committees and nobody will know the difference except possibly the smell which is normal for Congress anyway.
I will never understand people like this. He knew he had stage four cancer and ran for re-election anyway. But, having said that, I wonder if he was vaccinated and boosted and it caused his cancer to worsen?
I don’t care if you’re democrat, republican, or independent, what is he doing running for office if there is almost no chance of finishing his term? Office holders that resign before their term is up really pisses me off too! Devin Nunes is a good example of that.
At last, a good democrat.
There are so many in congress that should be disqualified for illnesses, mental capacity, age, etc. Remember when everyone attacked Kelli Ward for suggesting McCain likely wouldn’t make it through another term? Yep, she won that one.
Bet you that the dems already have mail in ballots ready to go his replacement.
Members of the House of Representatives who die or resign are replaced by a special election.
The Governor can appoint a replacement Senator, but not Congressman.
Until the special election, this increases republican majority.
I’m getting reports of sudden, rapidly progressing, terminal cancers affecting ordinarily healthy people. And yes, vaccinated.
Looking at the bright side…. perhaps another unexpected CoofJab dividend !
Probably ran un-opposed in Richmond. Richmond, tidewater and north virginia are the tumors in Virginia.

RIP
He just couldn’t let it go – the power, the prestige, the stolen swag …
(not that it’ll do him much good now)
Politicians must suffer some kind of Dog-in-the-Manger syndrome.

Rotten asshole, eh?
