All Eyes On Romney As Two Republicans Bail On SCOTUS Vote Before Election

With a razor-thin GOP majority in the Senate — 53 seats in the 100-member chamber — President Trump can afford to lose only three votes if he hopes to win confirmation on a Supreme Court nominee (Vice President Mike Pence would vote in the event of a 50-50 tie).

And Trump appears to have already lost two of those 53 votes. So all eyes are now on Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, who has clashed with Trump repeatedly.
