Trump says “from what I heard” Senate Judiciary’s @LindseyGrahamSC
“doesn't even have to hold a hearing” because those on his SCOTUS shortlist “just went through the process” and most Rs “have already made their intentions very clear. Even Josh (Hawley) and that's a tough vote."

When press pool said but Lindsey Graham’s going to hold hearings on SCOTUS pick, Trump answered: “He's going to, I would think. He wouldn't even actually have to hold one. ... Lindsey is going to call the date of the hearing as soon—you can't call it until you have a candidate.“
