Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said Tuesday that she will not meet with President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, calling the nomination an “illegitimate power grab.â€
The former 2020 presidential candidate took to Twitter to announce she will not meet with Judge Amy Coney Barrett as Senate Republicans prepare to confirm Trump’s nominee before the Nov. 3 election.
Warren slammed Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in particular, saying she will “not lend legitimacy†to his “efforts to steal another Supreme Court seat.â€
“The nominee has already made it clear that she will try to deliver a death blow to health care coverage for millions of Americans and to erase protection for people with pre-existing conditions,†Warren said in a statement.
