Sees the writing on the wall. If McConnell is talking Supreme Court nomination blocks, he's looking at the numbers, early voting patterns, enthusiasm and money and scrambling to come up with a plan.

Once he says his aim will be to make a Harris a one-term president, we'll know the die is cast.

Which, of course, makes efforts for a Senate hold/win in November all the more important. It's going to be a stretch but not out of the realm of possibility.

GO BLUE! VOTE DEMOCRACY!
