Guessing we will have a better guess in the next couple days when we learn if Sanders is a yes. If he is a no, she likely is at least 2 votes short on the floor and likely gets an unfavorable recommendation from his committee.

People on here are focusing on Manchin because that’s what’s “cool” on hard-left Twitter, but they are ignoring Sanders who was not exactly seeming like a yes during committee and his no vote would mean Manchin wouldn’t even wind up voting on the floor anyhow on the nom.
Pretty textbook putting the cart before the horse here.
Also begs the question why when the administration’s top priority is selling their relief package are they letting even a second of the airspace being taken up with a nominee that is likely to fall.
