b*****d 发帖数: 61690 | 1 Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is privately warning GOP
colleagues that there will be political fallout for the party if they fail
to confirm Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, quashing any talking
within his conference about pressuring Kavanaugh to drop out.
McConnell gathered Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee in
his Capitol Hill office Tuesday to buck up their resolve to get the nominee
confirmed before the election, according to lawmakers who attended.
“McConnell’s message was, ‘Get it done!’ He said there are a few issues
that voters care about and the Supreme Court is one of them,” said one
Republican senator who requested anonymity to discuss internal deliberations
.
The lawmaker said this stern message from McConnell has tamped down any talk
of pressing Kavanaugh to withdraw his name though “some of us may be
thinking it.” | r**********f 发帖数: 2808 | |
