Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told President Trump last weekend that he thinks Judge Amy Coney Barrett is the strongest choice among several to replace the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, but that he would support any of the presidents top few choices.
McConnell, a Republican from Kentucky, relayed this advice in a phone call, a GOP consultant familiar with the conversation told Yahoo News.
Trump met with Barrett at the White House on Monday, and has said he will announce his nomination on Saturday. That will commence the process of the Senate beginning its consideration of the nominee.
Republicans appear poised to barrel ahead with a rushed confirmation process as they almost certainly have enough votes to confirm a replacement before the Nov. 3 presidential election. The announcement Tuesday by Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, that he supports a vote before the election dashed any slim hopes for Democrats that they could delay a vote until after the election.

He wants the Handmaid on the Supreme Court. Overturn Roe v. Wade and or the ACA and you may not see a Republican majority for years.
