– Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska says she won’t be voting to confirm any Supreme Court nominee picked by President Trump before the November election. “I did not support taking up a nomination eight months before the 2016 election to fill the vacancy created by the passing of Justice Scalia,” Murkowski said in a statement, per Axios. “We are now even closer to the 2020 election—less than two months out—and I believe the same standard must apply.” Murkowski is the second Republican senator to say she won’t support Trump’s choice to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg, reports Reuters. Fellow Republican Susan Collins also said Saturday she would not support moving to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg before the Nov. 3 presidential contest.
