Really fascinating election year dynamics at play here.
GOP has the leverage along with Manchin and Sinema.
And there are some interesting Senate seats at play, namely GA and AZ, with sitting Dems running, along with some open seats that will make the open elections for those seats that much more interesting as the campaigns message based on whatever is playing out inside the confirmation hearings on Capitol Hill with the retiring Senator for those open seats.
I don't see how Biden could possibly put up a Kagan, Breyer, or Soto type nominee, he just doesn't have the numbers or popularity.
Breyer was confirmed in the 103rd, a 53v47 Senate, the same as Ginsberg. Clinton and the Dems of the 103rd were destroyed in the 94 election.
Kagan and Soto were confirmed in the 111. The eye popping and scary 58v42 Senate, which thankfully the American voter heavily corrected in 2010 and even more in 2012.
