If he had voted "No," then Pence would've been the tiebreaker.
So it would've been all-GOP.
This is incredibly tense
So it was 51-49 then?
yep
50-50 seems to be an incredibly likely option
Murkowski, who's been officially disavowed by the GOP, but clings to her office with eskimo support, thought Kavanaugh might hurt her constituency.
A lot of senators in red states are gonna get hurt by this
depends entirely on susan collins
she's giving a statement in 4 hours
if she's No, then I bet manchin votes No
also in news that doesn't directly matter for this: sinema says she would have been a no, while Bredesen says he would have been a yes
When’s the actual vote?
Hopefully Murkowski switches to yes.
Though she's an enemy, she's probably going to end up retiring.
We are still stuck with her for at least 4 more years
Yeah, and she's in her sixties.
She's been in office for so long people have mostly forgotten that she became a Senator because her own father appointed her.
When did she get elected
She'll be up for reelection in 2022.
Unless she retires before
or just decides not to run in 2022
hmm
Oh boy
Apparently she didn't make a decision until she was actually in to vote
I think she can still be coaxed to vote yes for the confirmation tomorrow
Predictit 49 seats or fewer has been holding steady since yesterday at 20 cents
50 seats exactly is the plurality with 40 cents, followed by 51 seats at 30 cents
Really coming down to the wire here
actually 49 or fewer has jumped a couple cents since yesterday
some fluctuations on that bet between a range of 20 and 23 cents
folks
flake is a yes for tomorrow
we need one of manchin or collins now
Went to the office of Senator Collins, met with protesters, one of the guys on the group was punched
on the way to Flake's office, we were met with protesters that blocked us off screaming "Traitors to women, traitors to history, traitors to humanity"
