Mike Davis, who was previously chief counsel for nominations on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said the task for the White House was a relatively simple one: Judge Barrett was already confirmed for a lower-court position three years ago, meaning that much of her past work had been vetted, and the Republican majority in the Senate has enough votes—and enough time on the schedule—to confirm her before Election Day.
“It’s very straightforward,” said Mr. Davis, who founded Article III Project, a group created to support the confirmation of Mr. Trump’s judicial nominees. “There is a 100% chance she’s going to be confirmed.”
