Democratic Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse said Democrats don’t have a “triple secret procedural trick device” to use to stop the confirmation of President Donald Trump’s nominee to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

With recent statements from Republican Utah Sen. Mitt Romney and Republican Iowa Sens. Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst supporting a hearing on Trump’s nominee, it appears that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will have the votes he needs despite the fact that Republican Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Republican Maine Sen. Susan Collins have both said they would not vote to confirm a nominee until after the election.

White discussed the upcoming fight over Ginsburg’s seat Tuesday afternoon on Fox News’ “Bill Hemmer Reports.”

“Can you stop this or can Democrats stop this now?” anchor Bill Hemmer asked.

“You know, I don’t think we have a triple secret procedural trick device in our back pockets that we didn’t use during the Gorsuch proceedings or didn’t use during the Kavanaugh proceedings, so I think it’s really a question of shedding light, making sure everybody gets a chance to understand what the consequences of this are,” Whitehouse responded.
