does this add pressure to susan collins, anna? a good decision by murkowski to stay on the procedural vote, she will not conform, but the eventual vote, confirm the support for amy coney barrett. i think that puts pressure on susan collins but i will say she's the only republican who's not endorsed trump this cycle and she's going to need those more suburban, moderate republicans to stay with her and not vote for sarah gideon. she she has a fine balancing act the closing days of the election. >> it if the senate runoffs decide the senate majority, does that mean it's a bad night for democrats on election night? >> yeah, it would be -- that's probably a did way to think about that, chuck. i think democrats have at least five seats right now where they're currently ahead. and so if we go nine days from now, it meant they only won three of those. and it would probably be the north carolina and iowa and, yes, determining control of the senate in georgia in january. wow. >> yeah, like i said, i talked to democrats who said if senate co
