WASHINGTON ― The fate of President Donald Trumps upcoming Supreme Court nominee once again rests with vulnerable Senate Democrats up for re-election this fall.
While activists and progressive groups are targeting moderate Republican senators who support abortion rights like Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, urging them to reject any Trump nominee who is hostile to Roe v. Wade, a handful of Democrats will be key in deciding whether the president gets his pick confirmed to the high court, because of the razor-thin partisan divide in the Senate.
Even if Republicans lose one or two votes, they will likely still be able to confirm the nominee who is expected to be announced Monday evening with the support of several Democrats up for re-election in November in states where Trump is overwhelmingly popular.
Red-state Democrats are going to have a very hard decision, and I hope that every Republican will rally behind these picks because theyre all outstanding, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said over the weekend on Fox News Sunday.

It's very hot and humid here today, after days of torrential rains. Ain't nothing feeling fresh around here.

Last week he told the cable news shows that he will not support a SCOTUS who wants to do away with Roe V Wade since it has been through the courts and reaffirmed for over 40 years so it is the law. Period.

Either vote for a right winger or you will lose your job.
Very soon people will be scrambling to not be seen as pro Republican which = pro Russian
