Of course, the fear that democrats may take both the presidency and the senate might motivate senate republicans to make a deal now, since there's a nonzero chance an immediate deal comes with maximal leverage.

Nor do I in general, but Mitch McConnell is. He strongly prefers a nominee constrained by Grassley rather than by Manchin.

For the immediate future, even a 4-4 court is a marked improvement from the pov of democrats.
