US presidential debate: First topic is SC

September 30, 2020 06:42

The first question of the night goes to Trump, and moderator Chris Wallace of Fox News asked about the supreme court nomination of Amy Coney Barrett.

Wallace noted Republicans have been criticized for trying to get Barrett confirmed before the election.

Trump justified advancing the nomination by saying elections have consequences, referring to his White House victory in 2016, and by pledging Barrett would be as good as anybody that has served on that court.

We won the election, and therefore we have the right to choose her, Trump said.

Biden responded by saying the results of the upcoming election should determine who nominates the justice to fill the seat of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

We should wait and see what the outcome of this election is, Biden said.
