I saw an interview with Joni Ernst a couple weeks ago. In that interview (or maybe it was with voters asking her questions), that's the point that she made, that you have to have the president AND the senate controlled by the same party in order to get a Supreme Court pick.

I had hoped that they would have drove that point home to make her admit that basically the "election year" excuse were pure bullshit then.

I've heard someone else say, who I think was Tom Cotton but I'm not completely certain, that basically the American people made the decision when they elected Trump and then doubled down and expanded the GOP senate in 2018.
