Many members of the court will break protocol and openly criticize the process. Some will threaten to resign. Biden will face enormous pressure to try and pack the Court.
In short, everything will go haywire and the Court will be hugely and permanently diminished.
Also, if RBG dies a month before the election, and Senate Republicans refuse to commit to not ramming an appointment through in the lame duck session, I think it will virtually guarantee a Biden victory. It could affect the Senate races as well.
