If you are thinking about Senator Susan "Concerned" Collins and etc., you are pining for fool's gold. They make token noise and then comply.

Are there 4 that are facing an uncertain re-election campaign right now?

Republican money tends to be generally effective. The threat of withholding the same will certainly work to bring them more in line. Also, https://www.axios.com/trump-ginsburg-supreme-court-10bf5f37-... .

Somewhat interesting in this space:

"Already, Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine have said that there is not enough time to confirm someone before November. Collins told The New York Times earlier this month that she'd oppose seating a nominee in a lame-duck session if Joe Biden wins the White House."[1]

So a fairly razor thin opportunity for McConnell.

The thinnest razor delivers the sharpest cuts, apparently: https://www.axios.com/mitt-romney-trump-supreme-court-pick-8... .
