Should be 52-48.
stunning win for the Republicans. When I heard the news what 5 weeks ago, I thought it would just be a good issue to drive Republican turn out. I really didn’t think they would be able to get the seat filled before the election.
But filled it was. Great job by all - Trump with the pick. Mitch for setting things up and lining up the votes such that the outcome was not in doubt. Graham for the hearings, and Barrett herself for how well she did. Didn’t think I’d see it in my lifetime. A 5-4 conservative majority.
