McConnell makes clear GOP won't support replacing Feinstein on Judiciary Committee

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell made clear Tuesday that Republicans won't go along with a Democratic plan to temporarily replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein on the politically important Judiciary Committee.

Calling the California Democrat "a titanic figure" and "a close personal friend," McConnell then said he wouldn't be part of sidelining her "indefinitely" so Democrats and the Biden administration could "push through a small fraction of their nominees who are so extreme so extreme and so unqualified, that they cannot win a single Republican vote in committee."
