If an opening on the court occurs, McConnell should come out and say he was wrong to follow the Biden rule. Democrats were right....and then vote on Trump’s nominee.

Yep, in fact he’s already said if a vacancy comes he’ll fill it.

When has the Biden rule ever been followed?

2016 - No - Obama nominated Merrick Garland (hearings not held)
1988 - No - Kennedy - possibly this one doesn’t count, since the vacancy went back to 1987.
1975 - Stevens - Vacancy Nov 1975 - just under a year before the election - possibly doesn’t count.
1972 - Rehnquist & Powell - possibly these don’t count either - confirmations actually December 1971 - vacancies go back to Sept 1971.
1968 - No - LBJ nominated Fortas for CJ

The Biden rule doesn’t apply.
Trump is not at the end of his second term.
