Lindsey Graham says Donald Trump has secured enough votes to confirm a Supreme Court pick BEFORE the election after Republican Senators Cory Gardner and Chuck Grassley said they would back the president in a major blow to Democrats
2020-09-22
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • South Carolina Sen Lindsey Graham expressed confidence in Trump's chances of rushing through a Supreme Court pick in an interview Monday

  • It came after Iowa Sen Chuck Grassley and Colorado Sen Cory Gardner confirmed that they will back a hearing for Trump's nominee

  • Four GOP senators need to side with the Democrats to block the nomination

  • So far only two senators - Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins - have defected

  • Trump has said he is 'strongly considering' four or five women to take over Ruth Bader Ginsburg's seat following her death last week

  • Amy Coney Barrett is said to be the frontrunner after she met with the president at the White House on Monday

  • Sources say Barbara Lagoa is a 'distant second' but Trump plans to meet with her

#4  Confirming a supreme court judge will fire up the base. Look for an electoral landslide for Trump.

#1  All right, Lindsey. Your race here in SC is much closer than it should be. Now is your chance to redeem yourself.
