Please context for europeans? How is his being on life support helping the Heritage Foundation (that's the Project 2025 guys, isn't it)?

The governor of the state could (under most state rules) technically pick the replacement for the senate seat if the current senator is unable to perform their duties.
However, the state of Kentucky recently changed that rule to one needing a special election which kinda goes into effect august 3rd and seem to be also therefore delaying the need for one by propping up his corpse.

There is also this rather helpful write up

Which scenario (McConnell is actually dead and the governor gets to pick a new senator vs they delay his death until August 3rd and a special election is held) would benefit whom more?

Republican fascists seek to hide his death and delay; the good guys would benefit from the special election.

He sold his soul to the company store.
