Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) suggested that Republicans, if they controlled the Senate in 2024, wouldn’t advance President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court nominee due to the proximity of the election.
In 2016, McConnell and Senate Republicans received blowback from Democrats when they didn’t give a hearing to Obama’s then-Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland after Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s death.
