McConnell says Senate will vote on Trump’s nominee for U.S. Supreme Court

Speaking in the U.S. Senate on Monday, Mitch McConnell said that President Donald Trump’s pick for the vacant seat on the Supreme Court would “receive a vote.” He said the Senate has “more than sufficient time” to confirm a nomination ahead of the election on Nov. 3, and argued it is facing a different situation than it was in following Justice Antonin Scalia’s death when he refused to allow a vote on Barack Obama’s selection, Merrick Garland.
