President Trump has told us repeatedly what he wants in a justice: a jurist who above anything else is committed to gutting health care through the courts and ending safe, legal abortion in the United States of America.
Make no mistake, a vote to confirm a Supreme Court nominee who meets President Trump’s tests is a vote to take away people’s health care and vital rights.
I oppose this President's Supreme Court nomination in the strongest terms, just like I've opposed his other nominees who want to overturn Roe v. Wade, dismantle affordable health care & eliminate pre-ex conditions protections, & roll back other hard-fought rights.
It is already clear the American people see straight through President Trump and the Senate GOP's brazenly hypocritical rush to fill this seat as people are already casting their ballots in an election that’s just 38 days away.
And we won't forget that this is happening while Senate Republicans are refusing to work to pass serious relief for families and communities struggling in a pandemic that has cost more than 200,000 American lives and shuttered our economy.
I’m going to do all I can to fulfill Justice Ginsburg’s last wish, and I call on people in Washington state and across the country: raise your voice against this nomination so powerfully that President Trump and his party will have no choice but to listen.
