Senate GOP moving forward with Supreme Court hearings after Trump test result
By Jordain Carney - 10/02/20 09:56 AM EDT

Top Senate Republicans said on Friday that President Trump's coronavirus diagnosis would not impact their timeline for Judge Amy Coney Barrett's Supreme Court nomination.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), in separate events on Friday, both indicated that they expect Barrett's nomination to proceed as scheduled, with a days-long high profile hearing set to start on Oct. 12.

"We can move forward. Our biggest enemy obviously is ... the coronavirus, keeping everybody healthy and well and in place to do our job," McConnell told radio Hugh Hewitt. "We don’t anticipate any kind of unanticipated event that could throw us off schedule."


Graham, speaking in South Carolina on Friday, said Barrett's nomination was "on track." A GOP aide confirmed that there is no change to the Judiciary Committee timeline, where a hearing will start on Oct. 12. The committee will then vote on sending her nomination to the full Senate on Oct. 22.

Take the record time a justice has been approved, and my goal would be that minus one day!
