” Republicans up for reelection:”

Appreciate the effort.
But what matters is the Dem Senators up for re-election,
Despite the media’s narrative it is the effect of this on the Dems that matters.

It takes 3 Rs to defeat the nominee, but only one Dem to pass.

But what matters is the Dem Senators up for re-election

Democrats are only defending 12 seats to the Republicans 23, essentially a reversal of 2018.

Alabama: Doug Jones (0%, Republicans take back)
Delaware: Chris Coons (safe)
Illinois: Dick Durbin (safe)
Massachusetts: Ed Markey (safe)
Michigan: Gary Peters (86.6%)
Minnesota: Tina Smith (98.6%)
New Hampshire: Jeanne Shaheen (safe)
New Jersey: Corey Booker (safe)
New Mexico: Ben Ray Lujan (safe)
Oregon: Jeff Merkley (safe)
Rhode Island: Jack Reed (safe)
Virginia: Mark Warner (safe)

Democrats will lose one seat.

3 Republicans defecting would not get the job done. It would have to be 4. If its only 3, Mike Pence will break the tie.

Also there was a difference in 2016 when Reps wanted to wait on an appointment.... nobody was openly threatening to derail the election, (and it was 9 months out not 40 days), nobody was threatening to hit the streets rioting, nobody was lining up a gazillion attorneys to fight the results, there was no mass mail in ballots being sent to everyone where anybody could vote.......and the list goes on.

If this goes to the Supreme Court as the Dems plan without question not to secede....we darn well better have an appointed Justice to fill Ginsberg's seat 'Before' the election...and confirmed!
