They will not vote to confirm by Nov 3

9. It is possible that ONE democrat will join the Senate before Jan 3.

Mark Kelly, since he would be replacing a Governor appointed Senate seat.

But yes, we could possibly retake the Senate on Jan 3.

I think if they try to ram through a replacement for RBG before Nov 3, it would anger enough people that many close Senate races would be lost to Repukes... which is why I don't think they will try that.

But they don't need to have someone on the Supreme Court on Nov 3. The President is not elected on Nov 3. Only slates of electors are elected on Nov 3.

Of course we will all go vote... and even though I am older and have diabetes... I plan on voting in person to insure that on Nov 3 my vote is counted. I will vote early to avoid people.

Next week I am going to contribute $2,000 to various Democratic campaigns... $1000 to Biden / Harris (which I believe will max me out) and $200 to each of 5 other races. I am trying to decide now which races (Katie Porter is set... still thinking about the other 4).
