Senator Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) called out the Democrats’ claim that if confirmed, Judge Amy Coney Barrett would strike down healthcare for those with pre-existing conditions, as a part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

Democrats have criticized President Donald Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court, saying she will strike down the ACA. Several Senate Democrats have said they will not meet with judge Barrett, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Maize Hirono (D-Hawaii), and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), listing one of the main reasons as her position on the ACA.
