These Are the Senators to Watch During Barrett’s Hearings
This article is for subscribers only.
The confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett will put members of the Senate Judiciary Committee -- at least three of whom are in the final month of extremely close races for re-election -- in the middle of a national dialogue on issues central to the 2020 campaign: health care, abortion and the environment.
After four days of hearings, the panel of 12 Republicans and 10 Democrats will vote, probably on Oct. 22, whether to advance Barrett’s nomination to the full Senate for final consideration and likely confirmation the following week.
