Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Sunday that President Donald Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court, Judge Amy Coney Barrett, should, if confirmed by the Senate, recuse herself from any cases involving the outcome of the presidential election or the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
Speaking at a press briefing in New York, Schumer said Barrett, 48, should step aside from the cases due to “serious conflicts of interest.” Barrett was nominated last month by Trump after Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death.
