Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called on Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett to self-isolate, a move that could delay confirmation hearings.
“The infection of the President, First Lady and a close aide require that the White House immediately conduct a contact tracing regime that follows CDC guidelines, as well as thorough testing and isolation for those who were exposed to infection risk,” Schumer said in a statement."That includes Judge Amy Coney Barrett and anyone she was in contact with."
Judge Amy Coney Barrett, President Donald Trump's nominee to the Supreme Court, meets with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Vice President Mike Pence in the Capitol in Washington, on Sept. 29, 2020. Schumer and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee challenged Graham committing to the Oct. 12 date for hearings, which should not be done virtually.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell conceded on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show Friday morning that moving forward on the timeline will require “all hands on deck” from his GOP conference. He called COVID-19 the “biggest enemy” standing in the way of Barrett’s confirmation.
