A key liberal group opposed to President Trump’s judicial nominees is targeting Senate Democrats with presidential ambitions in Iowa, urging them not to support a year-end package of judicial nominees that Republicans hope to advance.
Demand Justice has taken out an ad in Thursday’s edition of the Des Moines Register urging eight Democratic senators with 2020 White House hopes to “protect ObamaCare” and make “no more deals with Trump judges.”
The print ad also features portraits of Sens. Amy Klobuchar (Minn.), Bernie Sanders (Vt.), Cory Booker (N.J.), Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), Jeff Merkley (Ore.), Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), Kamala Harris (Calif.) and Sherrod Brown (Ohio).
The ad says “any one of these Democrats could be a progressive hero by blocking the Senate from cutting any more deals on Trump’s judges.”
