This is what I expect. The Senate won't rubber stamp Trump's pick and to the extent that the nominee is going through confirmation during an even more negative sentiment economic environment, a sycophantic nominee is less likely to get confirmed. Plus #lameduckwatch also applies
By the time a nominee is chosen and they’re doing the confirmation process the economy and markets could be in a very different place, with the Senate deciding they want a more serious pick.

one of the worst days of the crumbling Trump presidency: loses In indiana, loses in Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, loses in Tish James grand jury, loses in House vote to override union busting EO, and FBI embarrassed in inability to answer basic questions about ANTIFA (which is not an organization)

Breaking: Indiana State Senate rejects 9-0 Republican gerrymandered congressional map, stands up to Trump’s pressure campaign of threats and intimidation. Huge victory for democracy & defeat for Trump in gerrymandering war he started

NYT drops the most definitive #LameDuckWatch 🦆 piece so far:

“.. when it comes to Congress, the president is subject to at least some of the same currents as his predecessors, as the first signs of his lame duck status emerge.”

“.. regardless of how it shakes out, the drama around the files has punctured Trump’s aura of invincibility within the MAGA movement in a way few, if any, things have before. And it has proved a massive unforced political error ..”

“.. Trump’s reversal .. came as dozens of Republicans — perhaps as many as 100 — were already poised to break with him in a vote Tuesday. Even close allies of GOP leadership were weighing whether to defect from the president.”
