Alito should have made this announcement after the midterms since there will be a lame duck session of the Senate where Rs will still be in control. I'm sure Thune would push Trump's choice through just like McConnell did with Barrett.

Announcing now will make votes uncomfortable for Rs in tight re-election races like Collins, Hustad, Sullivan.
