On Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell appeared on Fox News “The Story.” He discussed in the interview about Trump- appointed Amy Coney Barrett, and her pending confirmation to the Supreme Court.
During the interview, McConnell educated the host Martha MacCallum that the Senate has been taking the necessary precautions for COVID and have been working remotely just fine. He also includes that time had passed to debate this process and that it was time to discuss the nominee.
“We have been up against COVID [1] since May,” he said. “We have had numerous hearings remotely, with senators calling in remotely, occasionally witnesses remotely. I think the nominee will be there in person. Some members of the committee may choose to be remote. We have been dealing with this since May. All of a sudden, it’s become disabling? This is just another effort to try to delay the process on this outstanding Supreme Court nominee that the president has sent up to the Senate.”
“It’s about time [1] we quit talking about process and start talking about the nominee herself, an absolute sterling choice. The president could not have picked a better nominee, outstanding scholar, wonderful family,”
According to McConnell, the Senate is delaying the process of appointing Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. One of the delays that the Senate is using is COVID.
Fox host, MacCallum asked McConnell about the outlook of the election, he stated that confirming Barrett into the Supreme Court will help the Republican Senate out for November 3.
“Well, what’s going to really help the Senate races [1], I think, are putting the Supreme Court justice front and center. Let the American people take a look at her, evaluate her credentials. Every single challenger to every one of my incumbents is opposed to this nominee, every single one of them. So, we will let the American people in each of these states that are hotly contested decide how important the United States Supreme Court is in casting their vote November 3.
