Supreme Court Confirmation Hearings Could Begin Oct. 12

The video discusses the upcoming hearing for Supreme Court nominee Coney Barrett, set to begin on October 12th, just 22 days before the presidential election. This timing sets a record for the closest a Supreme Court pick has been considered to an election. In contrast, Trump's previous nominees had nearly two months before their hearings. Democrats oppose the nomination, citing a precedent from 2016 when Republicans blocked a Supreme Court appointment in Obama's last year. Despite this, Republicans, led by Senator Lindsey Graham, are confident they have the votes to confirm Barrett quickly.
