Utah Senator @MittRomney is onboard for a vote before the election. That now means 51 Republicans will vote.

Indeed. Trump has given the RATs plenty of time to morn and get
Ruthie Bad Girl Ginsberg in the ground. Come Saturday, Trump will
announce, whether Bad Girl is in the ground or not.
Pierre Delecto? I don’t trust him one bit.
He’s going to vote ‘No’, treacherous puke that he is!
The white man taught the Eskimos how to write; the Dems taught them how to spell Murky’s name as a write-in
I’ll be amazed if Romney votes with the Republicans, anytime he can vote against Trump. It’s been clear a long time, what matters more to him.
Just watched Romney’s presser on Fox Business and it is the first time ever I have actually been at all impressed with him. There was no “wiggle room” in his support of the President putting forward a nomination for consideration by the Senate.

But as others pointed out, he could vote NO.
Even if he votes nay, Pence can break the tie. My guess is that he knows he is on thin ice in Utah and will fall in line.
That’s why going all in all the time is dumb. No way would they have killed the filibuster now but at the beginning of the Trump administration replacing Scalia it was a way easier argument to make.
He is pro life, but I read somewhere that he does not like ACB. I don’t know why that might be true. Anti-Catholicism?
Doesn’t matter what Romney does.
Pence would be the tie breaker.
Not necessarily true. Just said he'd support the process. Still time to backstab.
I doubt if any of them can let the democrats do a “ kavanaugh” style character assassination on a woman, and then vote against her
Except Collins and Murkowski
OK. This means he is onboard “for a vote”. Progress.
This is good to know because our AZ Rag newspaper which I do not have a subscription to, and I only see their headlines has McSally in a downward trend and most likely losing to Kelly the astronaut.
Also, they are saying that if Martha loses this could pose trouble for Trump’s nominee because if Martha loses, Kelly could take over the senate seat on November 30th since she was originally appointed.
And of course, they have Biden up by 10-12 points over Trump.
Our AZ news sucks as far as I’m concerned.
Mitt must have seen the internal polling
He’s got the votes, he needs to go the most conservative women which would be Amy Coney Barrett
McSally internal poll (its close):
Arizona Senate GE:
Mark Kelly (D) 48% (+2)
Martha McSally (R-inc) 46%

Romney said he’ll vote based on the qualifications of the nominee. He also said he wants a strict constructionist.
Just watched the press conference. His yes vote seems pretty solid.
