“Mitch McConnell wouldn’t give President Obama’s nominee a hearing 10 months before election,” Clinton said of the Senate majority leader’s famous refusal to hold a hearing on Obama’s choice for the court, Merrick Garland, in 2016. But with just 44 days left until the 2020 presidential election, McConnell has said that he will hold a vote on Trump’s pick for the seat, and Trump has said he will select a nominee shortly.
