DSCC National Press Secretary Lauren Passalacqua issued the following statement on the decision by vulnerable Republican incumbents to oppose any Supreme Court nominee:
“The most vulnerable GOP incumbents have fallen in line to support this unprecedented obstruction of the constitutional process. Senators Kelly Ayotte, Pat Toomey, Rob Portman, Ron Johnson, Roy Blunt, Richard Burr, John McCain and Rand Paul are putting party politics ahead of their most basic responsibility. This is a disservice to their constituents and to the Constitution they swore an oath to uphold. With this moment in mind, voters will turn out in November to elect people who will actually do their jobs.”
