Sen. McConnell Would Confirm a Trump SCOTUS Nominee in 2020

HeadlineMay 29, 2019

In more Supreme Court news, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday he would move to confirm a President Trump-appointed nominee to the court if a seat becomes vacant during next year’s run-up to the general elections. In 2016, McConnell led a Republican effort to block President Obama’s nominee Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court following Justice Antonin Scalia’s death, arguing voters should decide whether a Democratic or a Republican president would fill the opening, based on the results of the 2016 election.
