It would depend on the makeup of the Senate, if the Democrats held the majority, he would not get thru, if the Republicans held the majority, he would get thru if the number was something like 55-45, you would need some cushion for the 2-3 Republicans that would fold.
Sen. Cornyn would face an interesting dilemma.
Confirm him and he stays out of the GOP primary in 2026 or go against him and he would have a serious rival for that seat!
Couldn’t the Dems filibuster?
BINGO!!
