Have Collins or Murkowski said if they’re voting for ACB?

I know they originally didn’t want to.... but the way ACB crushed the hearings I was wondering if they’d vote for her. Or maybe Manchin and Sinema come around.

If Collins doesn’t vote for her then Republicans should stay home in Maine

Collins isn’t going to vote, I believe.

I can see maybe Murkowski coming around, given Collins is up for re-election I don't see her voting to confirm.

Manchin and Sinema voted to convict. They will not vote for ACB IMO.

Nah, that'd be dumb. I'd rather have somebody in Washington that votes us 95% of the time than someone that will vote against us 100% of the time.

I don’t understand the point and who a person like this continuing to exist as she does actually benefits.

once again... the reason Collins is in trouble in Maine is b/c she voted FOR Kavabaw (essentially the deciding vote) and NOT GUILTY in the impeachment trial

2 of her biggest votes with the GOP are the reason she's essentially on her way out of the Senate

can a "present" or "no" vote save her job here?

doubtful... but they probably have the votes this time where she can do what she can to try to help herself at the polls

To be totally honest, I think she's going to receive several Democratic votes. She handled herself incredibly.

Btw, is this vote Wednesday or Thursday?

Remember when Supreme Court confirmation hearings were about if the candidate is qualified for the job and not about the current direction of the political winds?

Collins came out long ago and said that she would not vote Yes if it was prior to the election.

She doesn't have to vote "yes" just do not vote "No"

It is a 53-47 split right now. The Dems would need 4 no votes to keep her out. Three no votes and it is a 50/50 split seperated by a Pence Vote.

There are only three you have to worry about. Romney, Collins and Murkowski. They can all abstain.

Although Romney has said he is a yes vote so it is at least 51-47.
