Tim Kaine takes fighting Trump’s court takeover off the table: ‘I’m asking Republicans to be true to their word’

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) said on Monday that drastic measures to stop President Donald Trump’s next Supreme Court nominee are off the table because he hopes Republicans will be “true to their word” by refusing to confirm a new justice in an election year.

During an interview with Kaine on MSNBC, host Hallie Jackson noted that some Democrats have suggested using impeachment and other legislative techniques to delay the replacement of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Kaine, however, said that his strategy is based on the “hope” that Republicans will keep their word.

“Would you support impeaching either President Trump or Attorney General Bill Barr as a way to essentially delay the Senate on a vote for the president’s court nominee?” Jackson asked the Virginia Democrat.
