It will give every indication that unless Manchin votes Yes and allows it to go to a tiebreaker, the nomination is over.

I see Zero chance she comes out today as a No, given that Murkowski looks likely to be a No.

I also think they will give Murkowski cover, by all 3 voting Yes, he gets in 51-49, and nobody takes the blame.
