I assume that means he has the votes locked up.

I wouldn’t say that. They have to put the red state Dems under the gun.

I think the fact that the FBI report is released gives cover to Collins and company to vote "yes".

A Saturday vote is the earliest, many of bags o’ crap about to be flung by the Reds.

Not necessarily., But there is a timeline even Mitch must follow. And without this move tonight, there can't be a vote this week. NOW I hope he whips out the checkbook and buys off Murcow and Collins. Flake doesn't matter. If those two are sold, Manchine and Heitkamp will follow, making it. 52 (51 needed for cloture)

Either he has the votes locked up, or if he gets voted down Trump re-nominates him, ensuring EVERY Red State Dem Senator up for election LOSES.

No, all it means that he’s tired of messing around with it and he wants to force the vote. He would do it even if he didn’t have the votes so people would be on record prior to the election.

That’s usually what that means.
