BREAKING: Romney Sides With McConnell, GOP Now Likely Has Votes To Confirm RBG Replacement

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) said Tuesday morning that he supports giving President Donald Trump’s next Supreme Court nominee a floor vote, giving Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) enough votes to confirm a replacement for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

“Sen. Mitt Romney said he would support a floor vote on President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court, essentially clinching consideration of Trump’s nominee this year despite the impending election,” POLITICO noted in a breaking news alert Tuesday. “Just two Republican senators have asked for the party to put the brakes on the confirmation. And with a 53-seat majority, Senate Majority Mitch McConnell now has the votes he needs to move forward with a nominee to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.”
