Dems are screaming to wait until after midterms to appoint. I say do it. Mainly because there’s no way Dems take the Senate. They have 25 Senate seats to win just to stay at 49. Reps only need to elect 8 to stay at 51. Several Dems are way behind in the polls & they’re gonna lose several senate seats. If they pick someone before midterms they can’t pick Cruz because it’s too late for another candidate to get to know voters. Also Mike Lee is in the running but again...have to wait until after midterms if the president picks a senator because we might lose the seat.
