Dena says there are three senators besides Mitt that have said no nomination before Election/Inauguration Day.
Of course #MoscowMitch will try to jam Trump’s SCOTUS pick through, BUT:
▶️@SenateGOP holds 53-47 edge
▶️If @CaptMarkKelly wins, he takes the seat IMMEDIATELY (special election)
▶️Murkowski + Collins have signaled they would NOT vote
▶️Pence could break tie
▶️@MittRomney??🙏🏼 https://t.co/lzyKo8pZn5— Dr. Dena Grayson 🇺🇸 (@DrDenaGrayson) September 19, 2020
Collins could flake out, depending on what Trump bribes her with. OTOH, she could be thinking that opposing a vote may be the only thing that saves her from getting the boot.
I also saw an unverified report that Grassley wants to wait, too. And if Kelly wins and takes office right away, that further complicates things.
The next few days are going to be very interesting.
