McConnell confirmed he would hold open a hypothetical Supreme Court vacancy in 2024 or 2023.
The minority leader said it would be "highly unlikely" he would allow Biden to fill a vacancy.
McConnell blocked Obama's Supreme Court nominee from getting a hearing in 2016.

Applegrove: This is a dominance display. Biden needs to let the air out of McConnell. Dominace displays like this are directed at females (female voters). Women gravitate towards aggressive men during hard times and lower middle class or working class suburban women are having a tough time and they may break towards republicans or not vote in 2022.

Greg Sargent: Democratic strategists are taking steps now to set the terms of the debate in the midterms. To this end, they say theyve homed in on a key demographic: suburban women who support President Biden but are at risk of either backing Republicans in 2022 or staying at home.
This demographic is somewhat distinct from the relatively affluent, educated White suburbanite demographic that is often discussed as central to the suburban shift to Democrats in the 2018 and 2020 elections.
Instead, this group is a subset of suburban women who are more likely to be non-college-educated and somewhat less affluent, and tend to be drawn from the working class or lower-middle class, or the ranks of small business owners.

(4,919 posts)We already know what Mitch will do. That fact that he is spouting off about it already, is interesting. Wonder if this will be the entire GOP strategy to keep the non-Trump Republicans from staying home in 2022.
