They only said they'd do that if she took a leave of absence. The next 4 oldest Senators are Grassley (90) - who's on Judiciary, Bernie (82), McConnell (81), and Risch (80 - Republican from Idaho); if they start playing the "no committee replacements for dead senators" game it's likely to come back and bite them in the ass very quickly.
Who wants to bet they'll do it anyway and see absolutely zero consequences?
Schumer and Biden will both say they can't believe it, then 10 seconds later go back to calling Republicans their best friends and bending over backwards for them
I would bet against you however I would lose.
