I was told it didn’t matter, since J. Manchin will be voting for her, thus supplying all the necessary votes.
Mitt is seeking praise from his Democrat minders.

In reality the vote that is critical is the Senate Judiciary Committee vote. There are 22 members equally split 11-11.

REPUBLICAN MEMBERS

Lindsey Graham (SC)John Cornyn (TX)Mike Lee (UT)Ted Cruz (TX)Ben Sasse (NE)Josh Hawley (MO)Tom Cotton (AR)John Kennedy (LA), Tillis (NC), Blackburn (TN).

Sasse has already said he will oppose. If the vote is 11-11 there has to be a floor vote to get it to the Senate floor but under the rules it is then subject to a filibuster. That means 10 Republicans have to vote for her or Dems have to vote to eliminate the filibuster.
