“The Judiciary Committee then votes on the nomination and sends its recommendation (that it be confirmed, that it be rejected, or with no recommendation) to the full Senate.”

Senate then votes on it. Rep have 51 votes. Flake, Collins, Murkowski are 3. 48 votes without them. Need 2 of the 3 Plus Pence breaking a tie. Or 1 of the 3 if Manchin comes on board.

Manchin will be on board. He gains nothing but trouble by going against President Trump. In fact, it would change the nature of his senate race overnight. 70% of West Virginians voted for President Trump.
