Schumer says Democrats will not let Trump put a ‘right-winger’ on Supreme Court

Coverage spectrum

Covered by 3 outlets, mostly right-leaning (67%).

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer told the Associated Press that Democrats will not let President Donald Trump put “a right-winger” on the Supreme Court, raising the possibility of blocking a nominee if a vacancy arises in the next two years. He would not say whether he would hold a vacancy open until after 2028, as McConnell did in 2016. He also said Democrats would not allow “any crappy nominees” to be confirmed to the Supreme Court, lower courts or the Cabinet. The pledge followed Democrats’ midterm win that flipped Senate control, and Schumer is expected to become majority leader in early 2027. The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
