Murkowski Statement on Supreme Court Vacancy

U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) made the following statement on the United States Supreme Court vacancy:

“For weeks, I have stated that I would not support taking up a potential Supreme Court vacancy this close to the election. Sadly, what was then a hypothetical is now our reality, but my position has not changed. I did not support taking up a nomination eight months before the 2016 election to fill the vacancy created by the passing of Justice Scalia. We are now even closer to the 2020 election – less than two months out – and I believe the same standard must apply.”
