Lincoln was also a man of honor; as was the Republican Party he helped to found.

Either way, he did not fill it prior to the election. Also, what evidence is there that he would have filled it if he had lost?

He didn’t fill the spot because the Senate wasn’t in session. They weren’t in Washington. In 1864, you couldn’t just jump on a plane back to DC.

Obama also saw that need,but was denied by McConnell..supposedly to ‘let the people speak’. In 2020, the people are speaking. Over 5 million have already voted. Yet, the Senate leader plows through anyway.
