This looks like a done deal now.
Joe Manchin of West Virginia got on board early yesterday, and Joe Donnelly of Indiana followed in the afternoon. They join Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota as red state Democrat senators who know their states aren’t interested in seeing them obstruct everything President Trump does just for the sake of obstruction. That, plus the decision of Jeff Flake not to make this one of the fights he wants to have with the president, puts Pompeo at 50 votes at least, which would give Mike Pence the chance to break the tie if it came to that.
