The White House ceremony where Amy Coney Barrett took the first of two oaths to join the Supreme Court looked very different from last month's introduction event, where some attendees contracted the virus.

Trump won Pennsylvania by 44,292 votes out of 6.1 million cast in 2016. A Democratic surge of votes in cities and suburbs could quickly erase that narrow lead.

Polls show Trump consistently trailing Joe Biden in the state. #AmericaDisrupted

Senators look to dig deeper into Amy Coney Barrett's outlook on key issues facing the court in her third day of hearings. Follow AP for coverage. apne.ws/AX6J6ZM
Sen. Lindsey Graham said President Trump made history by nominating Amy Coney Barrett, “who is unashamedly pro-life."

But Graham said, as Barrett has, that she'd be able to set her personal views aside when deciding cases on abortion.

Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett would not say whether a president would be able to pardon himself. But she agreed with Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy’s assertion that “no one is above the law.”

Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett is facing senators’ questions in the second day of her confirmation hearings. Follow AP for coverage. apne.ws/WuxK070
Amy Coney Barrett, who has said the late Justice Antonin Scalia was a mentor, told Senators that if confirmed the country would not be “getting Justice Scalia, you would be getting Justice Barrett.” Barrett was a former clerk for Scalia. apne.ws/cZ79CLb
Amy Coney Barrett is declining to say whether she thinks Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that established the right to abortion, should be struck down. Barrett says her only agenda is to “stick to the rule of law and decide cases as they come.”
