I suspect that if any other Republicans were going to vote against DeVos, they would have informed McConnell by now, and DeVos would have withdrawn her nomination.

Indeed, I suspect this would has transpired before she was cleared by the ethics people, allowing her to say the reason she was withdrawing was difficulty in disentangling herself from her and her husbands many investments that pose a conflict of interest to her.

She has now crossed that point. The vote on her confirmation is now on line.

And, McConnell is holding back the vote on Session’s confirmation until the DeVos confirmation is resolved. No doubt as soon as the DeVos confirmation is resolved, McConnell will schedule the vote on Sessions so his replacement can be in place in time to deal with the Supreme Court nominee.

Let’s have some confidence in the Republican leadership in the Senate. They’re not “yes men,” but they are team players.

Some are especially eager to criticize the leadership even though it is doing a fine job here.
