Tomorrow @realDonaldTrump will announce his nominee for #SCOTUS.

He should absolutely move a name forward.

And the Senate should absolutely move forward with a floor vote.

The Constitution, our history and norms support these actions. Full stop. #FillTheSeat

--A THREAD--
.@realDonaldTrump's nominee for #SCOTUSl should receive a floor vote. This is the norm for a Senate who is of the same party as the President. There have been 29 Supreme Court vacancies during election years or lame-duck terms and the President has always made a nomination.
In 19 of those 29 cases the President's party has held the Senate. 17 of those nominees were confirmed, 9 before the election and 8 after. The last time a divided government confirmed the nominee was 1888, with President Grover Cleveland. #FillTheSeat
