Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) announced on Sunday that he will vote against the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court if the vote is held before Election Day.
“Judge Barrett’s nomination and the confirmation process are far from business as usual in the United States Senate. I cannot support the nomination of Judge Barrett to the Supreme Court of the United States on the eve of a Presidential election. It is simple—this nomination must wait until after the election,” Manchin wrote in an op-ed for Herald Dispatch.
