Joe Manchin gets a pair? Will reportedly defy Dem filibuster, vote for cloture on Gorsuch
[Hot Air] Do I hear 55? CNN does:

Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (North Dakota) -- "As I said last year when Judge Garland was nominated -- and reiterated again when Judge Gorsuch was nominated -- the US Senate should have an up or down vote on any Supreme Court nominee as part of fulfilling our constitutional duty of providing advice and consent on nominees to the Supreme Court. I’m in the process of reviewing the materials (Gorsuch) submitted and testimony from his hearing before the Judiciary Committee while I continue to consider his nomination." -- Statement on 3/27/2017

Not a definitive "yes," but there’s no obvious way Heitkamp gets from that statement to a no on cloture. If you’re looking for someone to thank for twisting Manchin’s arm, thank Mike Pence, who used his speech in West Virginia on Saturday night to mention Manchin by name as someone who can help put Gorsuch on the High Court.
