There’s not 50 votes against her. One of those was McConnell, who obviously switches back once Rick Scott is back from quarantine.

There will be. Scott Kelly will take his Senate seat after the holiday. So 48 Democrats and 2 Republicans makes 50. If Lamar Alexander or any other Republican is a no-show or a no vote then there's no way she is confirmed.

Right, but that’s two weeks off.

If Scott comes back before that, and Alexander and Grassley continues to be a non-voters, then it would be 49-49 and Pence’s vote could get her in.
