Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said that if President Donald Trump would get the opportunity to nominate a Supreme Court justice in 2020, an election year, the Senate would assist Trump in filling the vacancy.
“Oh, we’d fill it,” he said with a smile, to laughs from the audience at a Chamber of Commerce event in Paducah, Kentucky, after an audience member asked what McConnell’s position would be on filling a vacancy in case a Supreme Court justice died next year.
