Mitch didn’t have to.
He just kept positions open so that Trump could fill them.
Once Trump was President, Mitch fast tracked them
Basically, he refused to confirm Obama appointments and fast tracked Trump appointments
Actually, Sen. McConnell was just obeying the Biden Rule and not confirming Merrick Garland in compliance with that rule.
McConnell took a lot of grief on that, if you'll remember. As a result, he moved through Justice Barrett's nomination in 2020, as to not make that mistake again.
