He wasn't expecting McConnell's vote. When he told her that he likely thought he could vote No and it would be performative in the same way Collins' and Murkowski's votes always are.
So he decided to vote yes on Hegseth nomination? Did he know all along that would be his vote? Had he been no, there would have been no tiebreaker vote from Vance.
Yes. I know that. My questions were mostly rhetorical because it’s pretty evident that he manipulated her so he could catch and kill. Good on her for walking around his barrier. Sorry I didn’t make the rhetoric clearer.
