Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), who sits on the Judiciary Committee, said she will take part in this week’s confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett, but she will work remotely from her office.
“Due to Judiciary Committee Republicans’ refusal to take commonsense steps to protect members, aides, Capitol complex workers, and members of the media, Senator Harris plans to participate in this week’s hearings remotely from her Senate office in the Hart building,” said Chris Harris, a spokesman for the Democratic vice-presidential nominee, to news outlets on Sunday.
