Senator Pat Toomey said Wednesday he intends to vote next week to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Toomey’s support was announced after he emerged from a meeting with Judge Barrett, who was nominated by President Donald Trump last month after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Senate Republicans, who hold 53 seats in the chamber, have moved quickly to push forward Judge Barrett — the president’s third Supreme Court nominee in four years — before Election Day.
