The *assumption* has been that that’s going to be the vote tally for K confirmation. But it could be anything. It could be 53 AGAINST K. It could be some completely different vote, not related to K. It could be the Senate after the election.
The Senate after the election is going to be 55 or more R. Heitkamp, McCaskill, Tester, Donnelly are going down. AZ, TN are holding. MN, WV are in play. I think the anger is real, and will bring out a huge vote that will overcome the minority of resist nutjobs who are the motivated part of the Democrat party.
