inquisitr--2020-09-20--Joe Biden Says Republicans Should Withdraw Supreme Court Nomination If He Wins The Election

Joe Biden is calling on Senate Republicans to follow their conscience with the Supreme Court vacancy , saying that any nominee from Donald Trump be withdrawn if Biden wins the presidency in November .
As The Hill reported , the Democratic presidential candidate made an appeal directly to his Republican counterparts on Sunday , saying during a speech in Philadelphia that a handful of senators will be able to determine what happens with the seat left open by the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday .
Like many on the left , Biden has spoken out against plans to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ holding hearings after Republican leaders said in 2016 that there should not be a vacancy filled during a presidential election year .
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell , who vowed four years ago not to hold hearings for a nominee from Barack Obama , has changed course and called on Trump to nominate a potential replacement for Ginsburg .
“ Don ’ t vote to confirm anyone nominated under the circumstances President Trump and Sen. McConnell have created , ” Biden said during his remarks on Sunday .
“ Don ’ t go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your conscience .
Let the people speak .
Cool the flames that have been engulfing our country.
” Biden said they could proceed with hearings of a potential nomination if Trump were to win in November , but should bring the process to a halt if he wins .
“ But if I win this election , President Trump ’ s nominee should be withdrawn , ” he said .
“ As the new president , I should be the one who nominates Justice Ginsburg ’ s successor.
” He predicted that moving @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Trump could lead to a “ constitutional crisis ” that plunges the country into a chaotic situation .
“ If we go down this path , I predict it will cause irreversible damage , ” he said , adding that it is important for the U.S. to come together as a nation .
Some Republicans have already expressed hesitancy at moving the process forward after holding up Obama ’ s nomination in 2016 .
As The Inquisitr reported , Maine Sen. Susan Collins said this weekend that she would not support moving @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Because Republicans hold a 53-47 advantage in the Senate , the party could withstand three defections and still be able to fill the empty seat .
That could be complicated by the upcoming race in Arizona , which is a special election where the winner would be seated in November rather than January .

In a Sunday analysis for CNN , Harry Enten speculated that the forthcoming election in November could see Donald Trump lose to Joe Biden in a “ blowout ” Democratic Party victory .
The columnist pointed to three recent polls that showed Biden with a significant lead over Trump in Minnesota , a state that the president lost by 1.5 points in 2016 .
But Trump has reportedly been pumping money into pushing the state red , and Enten suggested that the polling points to his efforts falling on deaf ears .

In addition , the former vice president has a “ nominal edge ” in regions like North Carolina and Florida .
Across these areas , the analyst put Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if the Democrat were to gain leads in Ohio , Texas , Georgia , and Iowa , he could pull off a blowout win on Election Day .
As The Inquisitr reported , Enten previously predicted a Trump loss in July and pointed to voter trust in Biden , which polling has suggested is higher on issues like race relations and handling of the coronavirus pandemic .
The columnist argued that these numbers stem from the fact that the president does not have a grasp of the American electorate as he did in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden victory , others have been sounding the alarm on the lack of enthusiasm behind the candidate .
David Sirota , who was senior adviser and speechwriter for Bernie Sanders ’ 2020 campaign , penned a Jacobin op-ed in which he urged the former vice president to focus on connecting more with the progressive wing of the Democratic Party to energize its base .

But Trump has reportedly been pumping money into pushing the state red, and Enten suggested that the polling points to his efforts falling on deaf ears.
“They are part of a larger sign suggesting that Trump still has a ways to go to win not just in Minnesota but over the electoral map at-large. If his campaign was truly competitive at this point, he’d likely be closer in Minnesota.”
Although the CNN analyst noted that Trump still has a chance to make up lost ground and become more competitive with Biden, he also highlighted the alternative scenario.
“There is also the distinct possibility that Biden blows Trump out,” he wrote.
More concerning, Enten pointed to Biden’s steady lead over Trump in states that the president won in 2016, including Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, and Pennsylvania. In addition, the former vice president has a “nominal edge” in regions like North Carolina and Florida.
Across these areas, the analyst put Biden above 330 electoral votes and predicted that if the Democrat were to gain leads in Ohio, Texas, Georgia, and Iowa, he could pull off a blowout win on Election Day.
“Wins in any of those states by Biden could push his Electoral College tally up to about 340 electoral votes or higher, depending on which states Biden wins. Victories in all four would push him well over 400 electoral votes.”

At that time, he said after the February death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia that he would not hold hearings on a nominee from President Barack Obama and that the American people should decide in the upcoming election who gets to fill the seat. There were close to 10 months remaining until Election Day at the time of Scalia’s passing. Now, there are only about six weeks until November’s vote, leading opponents to accuse him of hypocrisy.
Many of the protesters gathered outside the Louisville residence called for McConnell to be voted out of office in the upcoming election, where he faces Democratic challenger Amy McGrath.
“Hey-hey, ho-ho, Mitch McConnell has got to go,” some of those at the demonstration chanted.
Protesters have targeted McConnell’s house in the past, including earlier in the year when a number of demonstrators holding a banner reading “No Justice, No Sleep” called for action after the death of Breonna Taylor.
As the Fox News report noted, one demonstrator was arrested this weekend on a charge of disorderly conduct and improper parking, with police saying she parked her car in a pharmacy parking lot without planning to shop at the store. As the car was about to be towed, the woman went into the store and purchased beer, but police proceeded with her arrest anyway, the report noted.
The Inquisitr reported on Friday that McConnell released a statement calling on Donald Trump to pick a nominee for the empty seat. A number of other Senate Republicans have said they plan to confirm a nominee from Trump, though many of them had joined McConnell in 2016 by saying that there should not be any vacancies filled during an election year. Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland was never put to a vote, and the seat remained open until Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch the following year. The Senate, led by McConnell as majority leader, confirmed him in a vote that included three Democrats voting in favor.
As Fox News reported, it was not clear whether McConnell was in his Kentucky home at the time of the protest.

On Sunday , Super PACs Lindsey Must Go ( LMG ) and the Lincoln Project released an advertisement slamming Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina as a hypocrite .
In 2016 , like most Republicans , Graham opposed judge Merrick Garland ’ s nomination to the Supreme Court .

“ If there ’ s a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term… let the next president , whoever it might be , make that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ago .
In 2018 , the South Carolina Republican doubled down .
At an event hosted by The Atlantic , Graham was asked to say whether the GOP should wait until after the election if there is an opening and explicitly said that it should .
In a statement , Reed Galen , co-founder of the Lincoln Project , slammed Graham as “ nothing more than a loathsome lackey to whatever influential force he can latch on to.

Lauren Harper , spokesperson for the LMG Super PAC , accused the senator of unprecedented hypocrisy .
Harper added that her organization will do “ whatever it takes ” to defeat Graham in November and elect Democrat Jaime Harrison to the Senate .
Latest polling suggests that the race for the seat currently occupied by Graham is tighter than many expected .
For instance , a Quinnipiac University survey released last @ @ @ @ @ @ @ percent .
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has signaled that he wants to move forward with replacing Ginsburg .
Most Republicans are expected to support Trump ’ s picks , but a few dissenting voices could make all the difference .

“People are working incredibly hard to reduce the impact of the pandemic and the sense that they’re being blocked by people at the political level, and that the work that they’re doing is not being appreciated by the American public.”
Besser claimed that the general feeling in the department is that public health leadership is being stifled and prevented from laying out their path forward to overcome the pandemic.
According to one official, CDC Director Robert Redfield was at one point pressured by Vice President Mike Pence to change gathering recommendations to ensure they align with the White House’s recommendations.
Elsewhere, current CDC employees sounded the alarm on an HHS directive from August that was scrubbed. The directive recommended that people who come into contact with COVID-19 infected individuals get tested for the virus. After an outcry, the recommendation was reinserted into the document.
As The Inquisitr reported, recently unearthed emails revealed that the Trump administration attempted to silence the CDC during the coronavirus crisis. Notably, Paul Alexander, who recently left the Department of Health and Human Services, pushed back against the agency’s promotion of social distancing and suggested it was undermining the president’s authority.
Alexander also allegedly worked with his boss, Michael R. Caputo, to rewrite CDC bulletins to align with the Trump administration’s pandemic projections, which were significantly more optimistic than the CDC’s.
According to The Hill, Democratic lawmakers in the House of Representatives have launched an investigation into possible political interference in CDC projections.
As reported by CTV News, the CDC recently removed a guideline that suggested the coronavirus could be transmitted through the air, as multiple studies have claimed. Now, the agency’s guideline claims that the virus is mainly spread between people in close physical contact with one another.

Anthony Fauci, the top infectious disease expert in the U.S., took aim at Republican Sen. Rand Paul on Wednesday for his suggestion that coronavirus cases might have curbed in New York due to herd immunity, CNBC reported.
The exchange began when Paul attacked the state’s pandemic response and argued that current evidence suggested that herd community, not lockdowns, is responsible for the flattening of the curve in New York and New Jersey. Fauci responded by accusing Paul of misrepresenting the facts in both Wednesday’s Senate hearing and in the past.
“They got hit very badly, they made some mistakes,” Fauci said of New York’s COVID-19 response.
“Right now if you look at what’s going on right now, the things that are going on in New York to get their test positivity 1% or less is because they are looking at the guidelines that we have put together from the task force of the four or five things of masks, social distancing, outdoors more than indoors, avoiding crowds and washing hands.”
As reported by The Hill, Fauci highlighted CDC Director Robert Redfield’s claim that over 90 percent of the American population remains in danger of contracting coronavirus.

An explosive new report from The Washington Post , published on Wednesday , detailed President Donald Trump ’ s private conversations with White House aides and other administration officials .
In private , the report stated , Trump made racially charged comments about Black Americans and pushed anti-Semitic tropes .

In the alleged remarks , he suggested that Jewish Americans are disloyal to the U.S. , promoting an anti-Semitic canard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about African Americans , suggesting that they are to blame for racial inequality and structural racism , officials said .

In 2018 , when first lady Melania Trump was making plans to visit Africa , the president reportedly said that he “ could never understand why she would want to go there.

“ Johnson made it clear that he was really the president of a few people , not the American people .

Cindy McCain, the widow of late Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain, has endorsed Democrat Joe Biden for president, CNN reported. She joins a growing list of Republicans who, dissatisfied with President Donald Trump, have publicly come out in support of his Democratic opponent.
Rumors that McCain’s widow would throw her support behind Biden have been circulating for weeks, ever since a video was shown during August’s Democratic National Convention that touted the relationship between Biden and the late Arizona senator. Additionally, Biden had recently begun telling his donors that Cindy McCain supported him.
In a tweet posted on Tuesday night, she confirmed the rumors.
“My husband John lived by a code: country first. We are Republicans, yes, but Americans foremost. There’s only one candidate in this race who stands up for our values as a nation, and that is @JoeBiden,” she wrote.
In a series of follow-up tweets, she laid out why she thought the Delaware politician was the right man for the job.
First, she wrote on Twitter, which can be seen here, that Biden and her late husband might not have seen eye-to-eye on the issues and admitted the two had even argued with each other passionately. But at the end of the day, she wrote, Biden is a “good and honest man” who will “lead us with dignity.”
She also tweeted that Biden would make a great commander-in-chief of the armed forces, having known first-hand what it meant to send a child off to war, referring to his son, Beau Biden, who served in Iraq.

“I want to feel like my president cares about me and cares about my country, and Joe Biden does… Joe has great empathy for people in this country,” she said.
She noted that the last straw, for her, was when the news broke that Trump purportedly called American soldiers who had died in the line of duty “suckers” and “losers,” an allegation made weeks ago in The Atlantic and which Trump has steadfastly denied.
