With Harris no longer VP, the votes will split 50/50 on confirmation and no one will be confirmed.

Only if the Republican Senators, all of them, decide they’d actually want to actually have a say in what happens to the U.S. Do you think all of them do? Frankly, I’m not optimistic.

No way Collins and Murkowski vote "no".

When it comes to Republicans, when was the last time you were optimistic?

Well, the real power play is when they agree to seat a red state senator as VP. I don’t think any Republican would do this, but if I was in charge, I’d tell them that was their only choice for getting a VP. Then you get 49/50, and hopefully 48/50 when the red state appoints a new Republican senator.

That’s the kind of cojones that Repubs need but will never have.
