      They literally don’t have a horse to trade. Look at Hegseth as an example: 0 Dems, only 50 out of 53 Republicans, Still Confirmed. Cabinet positions and judges can’t even be filibustered since 2013 and 2017 respectively.

      In the end, it doesn’t matter what Dem Senators vote for on this issue. It literally does not matter unless hypothetically GOP senators vote no on a Trump appointee but DNC vote yes, which is pretty much impossible.
