No. They made way to much of their "the next president should decide" rhetoric to change course before the vote. I wouldn't be surprised if he were appointed during the lame duck session thou. On the other hand I'm not really all that convinced that a hypothetical President Clinton wouldn't keep Garland as the nominee... if she's going to spend political capital to get a more liberal Justice confirmed she'll spend it on the replacement for RBG.
