a Democratic Senate strategy

 why doesn't Biden pick a republican senator for a cabinet post from one of the 37 states where the governor appoints a person to fill that vacancy?  I know its been done before.

It needs to be a state with a democratic governor with republican senator(s) like say, Kentucky.  It wouldn't work with McConnell, but it might with that mental lightweight, Rand Paul, who reminds me of Little Lord Fauntleroy.  Paul would make a wonderful leader in a cabinet post where he could do little or no harm, but would inflate his oversized ego.  Maybe transportation, where he could replace Ms. McConnell.  What could that hurt?

Then Andy Beshear could appoint John Yarmuth as the new senator from Kentucky and we gain a Democratic Senate seat.  Depending on what happens in the Georgia runoffs, it might help change the Senate composition or even strengthen a Democratic majority.
