Joe Manchin said that he would not support a Senate vote to confirm President Joe Biden’s pick for a Supreme Court seat if a vacancy opened up right before the 2024 presidential election.
On Monday, conservative Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin said that he would not support a Senate vote to confirm President Joe Biden’s pick for a Supreme Court seat if a vacancy opened up right before the 2024 presidential election.
When asked by reporters how he would respond if another Supreme Court seat opened up weeks before an election, Manchinto vote for a nominee through a rushed process, since he opposed the nomination of Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who was confirmed by former President Donald Trump and Republicans just before the 2020 election.
“If it comes a week or two weeks before like it did with our last Supreme Court nominee, I think that’s a time it should go to the next election,”The senator’s words provoked the ire of political commentators on social media, who believed that Manchin was referring to the upcoming 2022 midterm elections, rather than the presidential election in 2024.
