Senate GOP Conference Chairman John Barrasso called on President Trump and his Senate colleagues Sunday to move forward on a nominee to replace the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, warning whatever they do, Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and his Democratic caucus will "blow up the Senate" if they take power in 2021.
Barrasso, R-Wyo., noted on "Fox News @ Night" when Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., balked at scheduling a hearing for President Obama's 2016 SCOTUS nominee, D.C. Circuit Judge Merrick B. Garland, it was on account of "the Biden Rule."
