Right now any Republican Senator who wants a favor can get it.
It's probably a head fake from Senator Susan, but Jeff Flake may well have a knife to twist in leaving as well as Corker.
The situation also provides cover for the Dems in red states running for election. A couple weeks ago, I figured at least 3-4 of them would vote to confirm. I'm not sure any will.
The only reason Senator Fossiley hasn't called for votes is that at the moment Mitch doesn't have the votes in the bank.
