McConnell to meet with Trump's Supreme Court pick next week
By Jordain Carney - 09/26/20 06:16 PM EDT
Judge Amy Coney Barrett will start making the rounds on Capitol Hill next week as Republicans ramp up work on her Supreme Court nomination weeks before the election.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said in a statement that he will meet with Barrett once the chamber returns to Washington next week.
“I look forward to meeting with the nominee next week and will carefully study her record and credentials. As I have stated, this nomination will receive a vote on the Senate floor in the weeks ahead, following the work of the Judiciary Committee supervised by Chairman [Lindsey] Graham," McConnell said in a statement.
Graham will begin a four-day hearing for Barrett on Oct. 12, three sources familiar with the schedule told The Hill earlier Saturday. The hearing will pave the way for Senate Republicans to hold a vote on the floor before the Nov. 3 election.
