Washington Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday reiterated his vow to hold a vote on a Supreme Court nominee once one is named by President Donald Trump and argued there is ample time for the Senate to take up a nomination even with Election Day not far away.
"President Trump's nominee for this vacancy will receive a vote on the floor of the Senate," McConnell said in remarks on the floor, later adding,"The Senate has more than sufficient time to process a nomination. History and precedent make that perfectly clear."McConnell's remarks underscore the resolve of Senate Republicans to press forward with the confirmation of a nominee despite calls from Democrats to wait until after the presidential election and inauguration.
