Democrats Will Shift Focus In Supreme Court Fight

Washington Post: “Several of their recent confirmation battles, as well as their strategy during the impeachment trial of President Trump, focused on complaints about how the Senate GOP majority steamrolled the minority party’s rights. This process-centric approach produced polling that the public backed the Democratic position, but they lost the bigger battles and the issue often faded from relevance.”

“Instead, in sync with Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, Democrats want to replicate their successful 2017 fight to preserve the Affordable Care Act, which peeled off enough GOP senators to defeat Trump’s bid to repeal the health law. They remain skeptical of defeating this particular nominee, expected to be Judge Amy Coney Barrett, but Democrats believe this policy-focused message could propel them to big wins in the November elections.”
