Collins presser at 3PM to detail her vote tomorrow.

[Col Frank Slade]

I’d feel a lot better if cloture was 52 or 53 YES.

“Collins presser at 3PM to detail her vote tomorrow.”

She just wants to get this over with, that’s why she voted for cloture.

But tomorrow she’ll be a NO vote, which is why she is making a “big announcement” at 3:00 this afternoon. We know Murkowski will be a NO tomorrow, so Kavanaugh will go down to defeat, because Manchin will not vote YES for confirmation tomorrow, as his vote would put Kavanaugh over the top with a tie vote, with Pence casting the tie breaker.
