If he wins, Arizona Democrat Mark Kelly could potentially be sworn in by Nov. 30, during the lame-duck session of Congress when Republicans may try to push through a replacement for Justice Ginsburg's Supreme Court seat.

The Arizona race, while occurring on Election Day Nov. 3, is technically a special election to fill the seat vacated by the late Republican Sen. John McCain. McSally was appointed to fill the seat until the election, and lawyers from both partiesIt's unclear, however, if McConnell or Arizona GOP Gov. Doug Ducey could delay Kelly's induction to the Senate.on Twitter.

Kelly has outraised McSally $46 million to $30 million and both campaigns are now likely to be inundated with a flood of money. Progressives exhorted their followers on Twitter to open their wallets for Kelly and give as much as possible, while liberal and conservative groups have already started

Three reasons to get rid of republican senators, they support taking away your healthcare, they rejected a bill to help millions affected by covid and they enabled Trump's lining his pocket at taxpayers expense. They are the weakest link. Vote them out

IF HE WINS.. 😂

realDonaldTrump FillTheSeatNOW

A new justice will be appointed way before that MSLSD.

MalcolmNance

This staged shot means nothing when he won't go on the record about supporting Medicare for all and the Green new deal and taxes and Antifa & BLM ..good for him that he was an astronaut

If elected, he will be too late.

MalcolmNance some Good news

Hey ARIZONA - this is your Democrat candidate for Senator (Mark Kelly, former astronaut) This picture should tell you all you need to know

No way hosa

cindyweber59 They will block it by....you guessed it, bringing it to the courts to stall it.

Lol...he wont get the chance

Come on Arizona!! Don’t let us down!

michikokakutani

michikokakutani Not really. It won’t help, there are f enough Republicans to vote against the nomination.

AZ help save America vote Captain Mark Kelly

msnbc will tell the sheep anything.

Hope no one gets their hopes up. I got excited about this over the week-end then realize the GOP knows this & would surely hold the vote before McSally's gone. Even if Kelly is there that is still only 3 noes. What did Murkowski or Collins say about a lame duck vote?

marylandmarky A Mark Kelly, not THE Mark Kelly!

ImpeachBarrNOW

Mark Kelly will definitely win Az but I'm sure they will try to push it thru b4 election

We can do this let's flip the senate

Vote him in

It won’t be a lame duck it will be lame democrats

NancySinatra I wish I could vote for him. Another hero of mine.

Your news outlet is lame. By then the selection will be made. Why are you creating hypothetical situations just to divide the country even more. Your liberal narrative destroyed your credibility and subsequently your ratings. FakeNews FakeNewsMedia FakeNewsAlert

Im sure any vote for the SCOTUS seat will take place long before Nov 30th. I WISH Mark Kelly could be sworn in and vote against GOP nominee but it won’t happen that way. One more GOP Senator is needed anyway. It’s always nice to dream however...I’ll be voting for Biden early.

Nice try!

I have a feeling this will be over before then

We'll be done WELL before that! LOL!

A Senator is elected through the end of the year. Not believing this. Can you tweet where it says this? FoxNews greggutfeld realDonaldTrump seanhannity TuckerCarlson senatemajldr GOPChairwoman

We must all work for this!

Still need one more SenateGOP member to show some courage.

Probably I'm too stupid, but why is that important? the GOP has more than one advantage, don't they? Because even if he bring this to a tie we all know what Pence's vote will be. So could someone describe me how Kelly's arrival is relevant?

Never trust a bald bartender

Oh it’ll be over by then....but nice try

Fact check: false. Confirmation will he voted on and passed before the election. Cry more, libs.

Republicans are going to try to do it before the election.

Don’t vote for Kelly . Keep him OUT .

Kelly refuses to talk about Medicare for All or the Green new deal..could care less if he was an astronaut

Not to worry it will be done by than. Mitt Romney said he would pass her so it's a done deal.

Whaaah

Donating...convincing voters and praying he wins! VoteLikeYourLifeDependsOnItBecauseItDoes

So we just need to pray he doesn’t win.

What happens WHENhe doesn’t win?

LOL Yeah, that's why Scott Brown got elected in Massachusetts and Harry Reid pushed through Obamacare BEFORE Senator Brown could be seated. McConnell will do the same thing. The new SCOTUS nominee will probably be approved BEFORE the election even.

Mark Kelly's business subsidies, ties to Chinese tech firm under fire

And just like the video when I tried to save my daughter Lauren I had to face the same thing trying to save my family even with Samuel daughter Alffya his hitman was the person that pulled a gun on me at ten and in the Johnson's family there four child molesting woman

You know, forget about it. GOP is going to ram her through and I wouldn't even oppose it. Why? Because Trump is going to make a big deal out of it, claiming Dems are attacking women. Just makes me puke, the brazen hypocrisy.

DavidJoseCares who is this guy?

All the more reason to get it done before then.

Win, Mark, win.

We will work hard and try to not let that happen.

That’s 3, need one more 👉 MittRomney

They know this though. I'm sure they plan to hold the vote before that.

Oh, we're pushing it through to keep all you Pedophiles in check

He's the number one gun grabber

Mark must win

I really think Mike Kelly is a true patriotic person and the decision he makes will be sane. I can’t explain how a man with the Kelly name became a Socialist? Baby killers? Trader of POTUS? Terrorist Party? Pray.

Thats why AZ should get out and vote for Martha McSally! Vote vote

“If” more like never. 😂 Arizona loves Guns, Freedom and President Trump 🇺🇸

Grabbing at straws...oh wait weren’t they banned?

We got u MK

Who swears him in ? He's not going to be sworn in until January. Wake up people. 🙄

Kelly won't win. Trump will carry Arizona. Democrats will cry and cry and cry and cry...

Pleaseeeeeee pleaseeeeeee! I love Mark, such a good guy.

bjaycat1985 👏👏🏽👏🏻💯💪🏽💪🏻💪💯❤️❤️🗳🗳

Talking points to earn the liberal vote.

Do I detect a hint of bias?

Don't let it happen! Trump 2020

Come on Arizona vote Mark Kelly for senate

Gawd, wouldn’t that be great?

If

bikeloveny Don’t think he needs to be sworn in to take his seat.

senatemajldr realDonaldTrump VP JudgeJeanine MarkMeadows SCOTUS appointments are of big Nation importance & can be called an Emergency..why should Senate wait till 30th Nov.? The appointment should be done in October even if a special session has to be called!

Kelly is a genius and a truly American hero

Never vote for a democrat or listen to them or NBC

Nov. 30th is too late if the next SCOTUS Justice is confirmed before Nov. 3rd!

Get him in there!

“Push through”? You mean “appoint using the legitimate process outlined by the constitution “? EnemyOfThePeople

Completely fine! TRUMP TRAIN CHOO CHOOOOOOOOO

We will not forget. It’s all hands on deck now to take down Trump and his enabler McConnell.

Wont happen :) FillTheSeatNOW ReplaceRBGnow

Yikes.

And if wishes were horses, beggars would ride. Stop this irrational ginning up of people's hopes. It is sadistic.

NBC is worried.

Martha McSally will leave the Senate never having won an election. History will not be kind to the GOPComplicitTraitors

I think Kelly can win. Given how the RepublicanParty has split and majority of them have endorsed JoeBiden, I think that the Senate will turn blue, along with the House. It can go either way for the White House.

Potentially... so that means absolutely not

Kelly has got this! Awesome!

If this is the case Trump needs to fill the seat NOW!!!

McConnels plan to once again Steal a Supreme Court Judge appointment from the Democrats must be stopped at any cost, no more playing nice, by the rules and being Patsies to Rep's who never stop cheating lying and using dirty tricks. Fillibuster is dead, whatever it takes.

Why would MSNBC promote joe Biden? A man that ON CAMERA pulls little girls (that are resisting) into his arms and then sniffs there hair while grinning like he won a prize. Are the Filthy rich democrats that own NBC & the DNC trying to normalize this behavior. Where’s ME TOO at?

Congress doesn’t select the Supreme Court Nominees.

Praying for a win CaptMarkKelly! Also hope AmyMcGrathKY wins in KY so MoscowMitchMcConnell & his wife can retire to a life of obscurity where they belong.

You just gave a reason why Mark Kelly the Communist should not win! VoteRepublican

Your daily dose of the MSNBC disinformation and deception brainwashing campaign.

I honestly hadn't followed this race. Can someone tell me what Mark Kelly knows about politics? (other than he is married to a former congresswoman)

VoteMarkKelly 💙 ArizonaStrong 💙 FlipTheSenateBlue 💙 Keep those numbers up Arizona!💙💙💙We’re with you💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸

Joe_Glidden CaptMarkKelly no pressure 🙂

A warning from close personal friend to Donald Trump, Hershel Walker

I’ll be voting for Mr. Kelly today!

Make it happen, AZ! We’re counting on you to save America.

Support CaptMarkKelly 👊🇺🇸

Unless counting of mail in ballots takes weeks & then GOP legally contest the result if he wins. This could delay his swearing in for who knows how long with Barr overseeing...

Just saying your cause is mute.

That seat is a done deal quit begging.

MarkKellyForSenate MarkKellyForSenate MarkKellyForSenate MarkKellyForSenate MarkKellyForSenate MarkKellyForSenate

Royer, Elashi and el-Khafagi Talk ever?

Biden says: “The time has come to put your chips down. Will McConnel allow the voters to have a seat at the table and roll the dice? Or will he close the table and say ‘NO MORE BETS FOLKS!’ ? McConnel doesn’t trust or believe in the American people. I do!”

There are other way to stop McConnell’s hypocrisy.

If you need a little motivation, please let this short video clip be it:

You all said RBG was healthy, you were lying.

right. So much shit written. McSally will lose, without a doubt, but, brilliant journalist, you don' think McConnell's plans will take this into consideration?

He looks like Obadiah Stane lol

meloche_e That would still only make it 48-52 split in favor of the nazis

Today Trump hit his highest approval rating in the Rasmussen Poll at 53% (the highest point year), and their most recent presidential race poll had Trump taking a 47-46 lead over Biden. That’s not as quite a slim lead. Now Trump can pick another Supreme Court justice,scared Libs?

A bright man.

I guess then when realDonaldTrump wins on 11/3, the voters have spoken once again and Kelly will said with the voters.

He has both our votes!

More Orange idiocy.

How is the moron ahead in the polls. What a loser.

3 previous justices, including RBG, were nominated and confirmed within 45 days. Kelly won't be voting on this one.

lol ya'll got an A.I. computer running all the angles to try and beat Trump.... note to self 4 years every single day, 1 guy kicks all your asses, and u still don't get it....

Bet

Another reason to jam a conservative in now.

PLEASE don't forget that texting RBG to 50409 automatically sends a letter to your senator asking not to confirm a justice until after the election. Here's a sample:

Need to make sure he doesn’t win. The Democrats in control would damage this country beyond repair. High crime, open borders and socialism. No thanks

Trump will be re-elected by a landslide anyway, why are the lefties having childish fits again?

“Don't be distracted by emotions like anger, envy, resentment. These just zap energy and waste time.” -RBG Today, we get back to ACTION: 1. Text NTFIEZ to 50409 2. Resistbot will text your reps & tell them not to bring a nominee to the floor till after the inauguration. 3. 🍻

It’ll be done before the election

Are you kids going to carry this woman’s corpse, into the next millennium? Grow up people. This whole trend of Millennial idolatry is obscene.

Yeah right! Picture McConnell allowing a potential vote that could spoil his chance of confirming... You 4 got to give larceny credit where its due! He wouldnt approve safe guards 4 the 1 entity that defines Democracy... The Voting Rights Bill! Wouldn't even protect USPS! Shysty!

Bwahahahaha

you can smell the desperation in this tweet

Trump has the right and duty to put forward a nominee, just like the Dems would have. Back 2014, Obama’s Admin tried to get Ginsburg to resign before the Senate changed. That goes to show u how much they cared for RBG as an incredible woman verses politics!

IF Kelly wins.....

Aaaaaaaaand, Arizona for the win....VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

I don’t know him, have never heard of him but I praying he wins, somebody has to standup and stop the republicans in there dirty little tracks. With all of there lawlessness and disorder president and his gang of clones.

It’ll be done before then

Go Mark !

AnnCoulter

I’m Donating $10 to 10 Democrats Tonight in honor of RBG Capt.Mark Kelly Amy McGrath Sara Gideon Biden gets another $20 and I go to defeat the republicans

It’s going to happen before nov 30

Is that what McConnell says or Donald Trump who's the president here I don't know

This week’s SCOTUS nominee will be a gift to McSally

The seat will be filled by then. Moot point.

Are you reposting this every hour as a political ad?🤔🤔🤔🤔

Oh he’ll win

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Let’s win Mr Mark Kelly

Just more of your lies…One extra vote for liberals will not make a difference!

Democrats need to explain why federal funds over the years were not used to help improve impoverished conditions in major cities that breed outrageous crimes if they want to appear as honest and trustworthy leaders who will do better if elected.

“That’s their job,” Ginsburg told the outlet then. “There’s nothing in the Constitution that says the president stops being president in his last year.” Ginsburg quote. Respect her.... FillTheSeat

Let’s hope this happens

Sure vote in the baby seal killer

The tie goes to Pence... lol

He won’t win.

Why doesnt your communist democrat news organization bring to light the fact that democrats murdered RBG! All the democrats and their thug blm, antifa communist started so many fires from their rioting and looting that the smoke was enough to kill the poor woman! You All did it!!

Why aren’t Black male U.S. Senate candidates getting national news coverage?

Guess they haven't had enough of the LIBTURDS! You vote for these clowns,don't complain!!!

First he has to win. The left and their lame media friends are trying to push a narrative that everyone loves socialism. That’s not going to be the outcome

Please 🙏

Thanks for the notice. Will be donating to Senator McSally's campaign today.

Donate and VOTE OUT each and every Republican who enabled, sat by and watched Trump destroy our country.

I pray he wins! Trump only loves half of America, the Red Half. He will pick a Judge that acts the same way. He hasn’t invertiewed nor spoken with one criminal but he blames all crimes on the Democrats especially those living in Blue led Cities and States. This is NOT Justice.🇺🇸

Who is he sworn in by and who controls by which date he is sworn in?

That’s why if he wins the vote will happen before Nov. 30.👍

November's Power-ball Numbers are: 034651 November 03, President 46, 51 seats in the Senate. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica OverturnTheSenate LiberateTheWhiteHouse

amyconeybarrett remember the name, libs 😏😂

The ‘if’ is better applied to the nomination and confirmation of a new Supreme Court judge. That could well happen, even IF Kelly were to win, before the 30th of November. So it’s kind of a moot point really.

What are the chances of procedural delays being thrown up like a roadblock similar to when Minnesota Senator AL Franken was elected?

Just donated✔️

Vote! Never think your vote won’t matter. ALL VOTES MATTER 🇺🇸

He's not gonna win MarthaMcSally has my AZ vote

Why put in bias judges? It’s unconstitutional

Biden has pledge to pick black woman SCOTUS. 🧐🧐🧐
