McConnell says Trump nominee for RBG vacancy will be voted on before election

WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday vowed to hold a vote on President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee before the November election following the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

“President Trump’s nominee for this vacancy will receive a vote on the floor of the Senate,” McConnell (R-Ky.) said on the floor of the chamber, warning of a cultural war over filling the influential role.

McConnell says there is “overwhelming precedent” for the Senate to act quickly on a nomination.

“The Senate has more than sufficient time to process a nomination. History and process make that perfectly clear,” McConnell said, noting that Ginsburg’s nomination was filled in just 42 days.
