10:00am About That Presidential Debate: A Q&A For Globe Subscribers, Via Zoom

10:00am Department of State Police Public Hearing, Via Webex

“I will not be meeting with Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee,” Warren said. “I will not lend legitimacy to Mitch McConnell’s efforts to steal another Supreme Court seat.” “The nominee has already made it clear that she will try to deliver a death blow to health care coverage for millions of Americans and to erase protection for people with pre-existing conditions,”

Senator Elizabeth Warren

It’s tradition for Supreme Court nominees to meet with senators of both parties before confirmation hearings, but Democrats like Warren say trying to fill the seat so close to a presidential election makes the nomination “illegitimate.”
