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.

Trump is making the announcement Saturday.
Trump Will Announce Supreme Court Nominee Saturday From the White House
That’s awesome. I laughed me some out loud.
But who’s that guy in the middle? It don’t look like no Porky Pig to me. Looks like that turtle that beats Bugs in the race in that one cartoon.
Because a four-four decision on the election wouldn’t be a bad thing.
They don’t live in the real world. They’ve forgotten what that even means, after spending decades “inside the beltway”.
Et tu Brutus?
Watched McConnells press conference. This story is BS. McConnell didnt link it to the election, but Lindsey Graham, the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said that the nominee will be confirmed before Election Day. Graham is scheduling 3 days of hearings.
If this is true, it really doesnt surprise me. It must be remembered Mitch through President Trump under the bus back in January during the Senate trial over impeachment.
With Trumps reelection hanging by a thread, it wouldnt surprise me if Mitch once again kicked Trump in the balls in an effort to get rid of him.
Come on people! It takes on average 70 days to confirm an appointment. That means as late as the end of November, hopefully b4 Kelly takes McSally’s seat. If the vote is after the election it is what ira is. the big fella suggested it is doable b4 Nov. 3 so I’ll go with him. Don’t look for an excuse to hate on us.
By dispensing with any sense of urgency, it gives Mitch the wiggle room to put off taking any action before the next inauguration. This lack of urgency carries over to the waffling RINOs to join in with Mitch’s “Well, we’ll wait and see” plan, it gives them cover.
Each day’s delay make the likelihood that a Trump will get the fill the seat just so much more distant.
But I’ve already given up any notion that anyone plans to strike while the oven is hot; I’m just a spectator, like everyone else, I’m hoping the sight won’t be a train wreck. Que sera, sera.

What he says doesn’t matter, just watch what happens.
Youre wrong. Ive seen evidence that if the Supremes have a 4 - 4 split, whatever the lower court ruling was stands.
No way does this go to the HOR for a decision.

Perhaps we should be calling Mitchs office?
Thank you.
“The Turtle has crawled back into his shell, Chuckie Schumer called him names and the turtle responded the only way he knows how.
Sounds like McConnell needs an insurance policy because his name may be in those papers Comey tried to hide.
That's a fool's errand. Voters vote for a Senator that is willing to do the job they are expected to do.
