    Democrats control the senate right now though. They could nominate and confirm a Justice tomorrow if they wanted to (well, if Manchin and Sinema wanted to).

    Despite the argument McConnell made in 2016 (and as proven in 2020), the timing relative to elections doesn't matter. All it takes is the President and 51 senators being willing to do it.

      Sadly they don't have 51. If it's not the usual 2 another one will do a surprise no unless option is to the right of garland
