SourceSen. Bernie Sanders is not ruling out releasing a shortlist of his potential Supreme Court nominees, seemingly following in the precedent-breaking footsteps of President Donald Trump during his 2016 run.
Sanders agreed last month in a lengthy interview with The New York Times editorial board that releasing a list of potential nominees even before securing the Democratic nomination was “not a bad idea.”
Sanders was also asked how he would wage a confirmation battle for such an ideological nominee if faced with a Mitch McConnell-led Republican Senate after McConnell famously blocked President Barack Obama’s election-year nominee in 2016.
“It is an important question and the answer is you fight for that person,” he said. “And you make the case to the American people — not that I’ve appointed that person, not just because I like him or her, but these are the values that that person has and why we need that person on the Supreme Court.”
