BREAKING: SenSchumer revealed that he will tap SenatorCardin as a temporary replacement on the Senate Judiciary Committee as Republicans line up in opposition.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein , who is been absent since February, requested Schumer name a temporary replacement on the panel to keep President Joe Biden's more controversial nominees rolling through the approval process. Schumer indicated that he will try to set up a vote for that as quickly as Tuesday."I spoke to Sen. Feinstein just a few days ago, and she and I are both very hopeful that she will return very soon," Schumer told reporters.
“Tomorrow, this could happen to the Republicans," Durbin previously said of Republican opposition to temporarily replacing Feinstein."She’s in a delicate part of her life and her Senate service. They should stand by her and give her a dignified departure.” “Let’s be clear: Senate Republicans will not take part in sidelining a temporarily absent colleague off a committee just so Democrats can force through their very worst nominees," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell declared from the Senate floor on Tuesday.
