They're not going to replace the Senate Minority/Majority Leader with a freshman. Why would they do that?
The senator from Kentucky that will take his place, will probably be a freshman, but it's not like there is some rule that the Senator of Kentucky is the party leade on the national scale.
They will replace him with another old white dude that's been in politics for 60+ years.
I guess I should clarify what I meant. His SEAT will be occupied by a freshman, which means that Kentucky will now be represented by a freshman Senator with no power as opposed to a Senate leader with way too much power. In other words, Kentucky is fucked as soon as he croaks.
