When the nomination comes out of committee, then I'll decide when and how to proceed,' he said after the Senate Republicans' lunch on Capitol Hill Tuesday.
He would not address if that vote would be before or after November 3, when voters decide who will be the next president of the United States.
President Trump has pushed for a vote on his nominee before the general election but McConnell could be more peckish on the timing to help out his senators in tight re-election contests who would prefer to deal with the issue after the voters go to the polls.
Timing in the Senate is also tough. There would be less than 40 days before the election to complete the process when most nominations take at least 70 days. Traditionally a nominee holds meetings with senators, has a confirmation hearing that could take two or three days, has to be voted out of committee and then has the final vote on the Senate floor.

300 judges, two supremes and impeachment, now this ??!! The Turtle wins the race !. To save time in the future this will serve as my response to all criticisms . He has come thru time and again when the Country is on the line.
I expect he will again as he did while we all agonized over what he would do w impeachment.
The FR wet blankets live for Fake New’s speculation like this. This has NOT been confirmed! Good grief the Fake News can play some of people like fiddles!
Thats not what he said yesterday. He should trade places with Schumer or Pelosi because they clearly call the shots in the Senate.
Absolutely..this is a rope-a-dope
Written by one of the Synagouge of satan
It’s just the commie daily mail practicing gnosticism, it’s what they do.
They should be in jail at least.
Mitch wont commit because he likes leverage, especially with Trump. His wife gets a cushy powerful job, cuz Mitch likes leverage.
Dont forget, Mitch was one of the first Trump will never be president Never Trumpers.
The Turtle is a rat
Mitch is great on judges, but I have a hard time forgiving him for not shutting down the impeachment when he easily could have.
...........I was looking to see if anyone said what you said and found your post which I agree with totally. MSM headlines are almost always misleading or patently untrue. WHAT EXACTLY DID MITCH SAY............is the question.
Take a breath - Mitch is going to do everything he can to get Ginsburg’s replacement in - not promising a date that you may not be able to make is not a problem...if he promised and the Dems and RINO’s manage to disrupt things they will use it as a rallying call and there’s no doubt the concern trolls will help them by showing their impatient/ignorant asses.
I took notes;
Says Ginsburg could have been confirmed twice between now and end of year ??
Mentions “this year” again ??

He speaks for about 10 minutes but the first five are talking about RBG. Those lawyerticians are crafty with their words.
Justice Ginsburg herself could have been confirmed twice between now and the end of the year with time to spare.
And there is even more overwhelming precedent behind the fact that this senate will vote on this nomination this year.
Clearly gave himself an out.
Bumping this to the top. Did anyone see Bret Baier? I saw headline that stated Mitch was Non-committal on voting for Barrett before election. Did I see that right? My head is about to explode.
