In his own speech on the Senate floor he uttered the words "this year".

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.

Couple of quotes from Mitch's speech on the senate floor

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.
