29 nays so far on Garland for cloture.
Looks like that will be the total. I'm guessing Cramer is out of town and will miss this vote as well.
Including today's two cloture votes, Capito and McConnell have still backed all but one Biden nominee that has come to the floor.
Assuming Schumer and Sinema make it back to the floor to vote on this, Garland will have 70 aye votes. Fudge had 69 earlier this evening. Both will be up for confirmation votes tomorrow afternoon. Reagan for EPA will have a cloture vote tomorrow as well.
As I hit send Sinema comes back to vote. Now just waiting on Schumer.
And there is Schumer. Vote is 70-29
Tomorrow:
Confirmation:
-Fudge 12:00
-Garland 2:15
-Reagan
Cloture:
-Reagan
Confirmation:
-Fudge 12:00
-Garland 2:15
-Reagan
Cloture:
-Reagan
The House is taking up the COVID bill at 9AM tomorrow. Unclear when votes will occur on that or if Fudge will be present. You can be sure though: if her vote is needed, she will be there.
*I have been misspelling Michael REGAN repeatedly today.
