McConnell is safe in his re-election but a close second is his concern over keeping the majority. He doesn’t care nearly as much about helping Trump.
If he jams through a confirmation before the election Trump is happy but the GOP is screwed in the Senate.
His best option seems to be to hold the confirmation hearings after the election, and use that vote as the carrot to get GOP voters to the polls. Dems will be fired up either way so he may think that’s only way to save the majority.
Thoughts?
