Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) announced Saturday that the Senate Judiciary Committee is proceeding with the same Supreme Court confirmation hearing schedule starting on Oct. 12, while Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said he would adjust the floor schedule to accommodate the hearings.
Graham, who chairs the Judiciary Committee, said in a statement that there would be no change to the confirmation hearing schedule and that the panel will proceed with the consideration of the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the nation’s highest court.
