    IMHO, it’s only worth doing if the independents who caucus with the Dems can be brought onboard with a replacement proactively before she resigns.

    If you can’t get the Manchins of the world to proactively back a specific fast-tracked replacement, don’t even try.

      Bold of you to trust either of the two independents would agree to and then not immediately block it once she stepped down.
