It does. I would argue that her death perhaps gives the GOP more tools in the tool box. Status quo is good for the frontrunner (Biden) and any change in news gives the GOP more weapons. For example, McConnell pushing through a nominee next week will upset people that already are not voting for Trump. And it will really make Republicans happy, might turn out the vote more. So possibly a net gain. But let's say Collins blocks this. That could turn a close Senate race back in her favor, for doing the right thing. Or, what if McConnell nominates a female nominee. That could look good for some women who find these things important. The GOP have some decisions to make.
