McConnell: ‘We’re Going To Vote On This Nomination On This Floor’

On Monday, speaking on the Senate floor, despite the stream of threats aimed at President Trump and the GOP, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell stated confidently of filling the Supreme Court vacancy left after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: “We’re going to vote on this nomination on this floor.”

McConnell tweaked Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) asserting, “Ironically, it was the Democratic leader who went out of his way to declare the midterm 2018 elections a referendum on the Senate’s handling of the Supreme Court. My friend, the occupant of the chair, was running that year. The Democratic leader went out of his way to declare the 2018 midterms a referendum on the Senate’s handling of the Supreme Court. In his final speech, before Justice Kavanaugh was confirmed, he yelled, literally yelled, over and over at the American people to go vote. He told Americans go elect senators based on how they’d approach their advise and consent duties over these weeks.”
