There will be no fight as she is a liberal replacing a liberal. Dems have 50 votes (I think only 49 for now with the senator out), but some republicans will vote for her.
If she was selected to replace a conservative justice, she would get zero support and would have to wait for the senator Lujan to get back to get the 50th vote.
Even though she is qualified. She is hardly the “most qualified” overall. There are many other judges that had longer records and more experience. Judge Srinivasan for one…. But his gender and race did not fit the bill.
