McConnell Says He’d Confirm Justice During 2020 Election

Speaking at a luncheon in Kentucky, CNN reports Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was asked by an attendee, “Should a Supreme Court justice die next year, what will your position be on filling that spot?”

The leader took a long sip of what appeared to be iced tea before announcing with a smile, “Oh, we’d fill it,” triggering loud laughter from the audience.
