Will RBG's replacement be confirmed before the election?

As you know RBG passed away on Friday. Since there were just 46 days left to the election, there was a mad Ruch to get a replacement in place. Trump plans to nominate a candidate by Friday or Saturday, and McConnell expects to hold a confirmation vote this year. If he gets 50 committed “yesses” I am sure he will. What is problematic is whether he can hold the hearings and schedule a confirmation vote when Democrats are trying hard to delay the proceedings before the election. And, if the election goes badly for Republicans, could they confirm a lame duck’s candidate after the election? What do you think?
