>> right now, if all goes perfectly according to plan for the republicans, it's likely to be voted on a day or two before the election day. the tde but when you have the votes, when you have the majority, you can pretty much get what you want. i think what the democrats are counting on is, when the focus is on the nomination, enough pressure on the republican senators who are facing re-election on november 3rd, to say, wait a second, the public wants this after the election. that's big bet. >> absolutely, and no doubt this will come up in the next debate which is coming up on tuesday. the first one between president trump and joe biden. you'll be anchoring our coverage here on abc news. who do you think has more to gain, and who do you think perhaps has more to lose in this first debate? >> president trump needs to gain. our polls out this morning, joe biden has a ten-point lead coming into this debate, and if you look at the averages of polling for joe biden now, he has about double the lead that hillary clinton had four years ago going into the debates. president trump has to do something to shake up the race.

to draw some blood from joe biden. the job for biden is huge as well, he has to reassure people because there's still a small sliver of voters out there, but trump's voters have more enthusiasm, but he has to reassure people that he's not the socialist that president trump keeps saying he is, that he's up to the job and if he does that i think that's enough for him in this debate. >> some of the polls tightening in key battleground states as well. george, thank you. tune into "this week" later this morning, george has exclusive interviews with two key members of the senate judiciary committee, mike lee and dick durbin to discuss the battle over president trump's supreme court nomination. that's coming up on "this week." also, george will be leading abc's three hours of debate coverage on tuesday beginning with a special edition of 2020 beginning at 8:00 eastern followed by the first trump/biden debate at 9:00 p.m.
