Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) is the second Republican Senator to oppose taking up the a new Supreme Court nomination before the election, the Washington Post reports.
Said Murkowski: “For weeks, I have stated that I would not support taking up a potential Supreme Court vacancy this close to the election. Sadly, what was then a hypothetical is now our reality, but my position has not changed.”
The only other Republican to take such a position so far is Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), who said over the weekend that whoever is elected in November should nominate Ginsburg’s replacement.
