Senate Republicans: Our 2018 Majority Justifies Trump’s Next SCOTUS Pick

This is representative of the Right-Column commentary The Hustings will soon present from among a collection of contributing pundits.

President Trump says he will name a woman to the Supreme Court to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsberg this week, The Wall Street Journal reports on its front page. A commentary on the Journal’s op-ed page argues that the 2016 presidential and 2018 midterm elections, the latter of which retained a Republican majority in the Senate, negates Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s alleged hypocrisy regarding the chamber’s handling of the nominee. 

Voters “showed clear preference for Trump’s nominees,” the editorial posits. 

Meanwhile, The New York Times Sunday quoted a voter on how Trump’s support for anti-abortion judges has built support by evangelical voters.

“This is why we wanted this guy,” the evangelical voter said.
