Rs currently have a 51-49 majority in the senate.

Pence only votes if there is a tie.

If No name doesn't vote, Rs could still take it 50-49

1 other R would have to not vote as well in order to even trigger a Pence tie-breaker (win).

If you had every Democrat and 1 R vote no, that would trigger a Pence tie-breaker (win).

In order for the confirmation to fail, you'd need to see a minimum of:

-Every D vote no

AND

-1 R not voting, and 1 R voting no

[or]

-2 Rs voting no

 

In reality with this being before the midterms, they will probably get a few D votes from R states, and so should have the votes no matter what.
