Trump’s confirmations have ground to a halt. The people from Bush, Obama, Clinton have much too much power in the Trump administration.

McConnell is a Republican and the leader of the Senate. IIRC, he is the one who saved Gorsuch’s seat from Obama, and he led the vote for Gorsuch. He wants to get the nominee approved. I think we’ll win the senate again, but I don’t want to take that chance.

Because there are only 51 republican senators and Collins and Murkowski are guaranteed to vote no, so that means 49 votes, not counting Rand Paul who always makes a fuss about something. McCain can’t vote, so that is 48 votes. So, if you do the math, confirming isn’t automatic. I hope you understand.
