Politico: Romney supports holding a vote on next Supreme Court nominee
The announcement means Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has enough votes to move forward with a nomination.
There was hope that Mitt Romney might agree that voting before the election or during a lame-duck session might be hypocritical, but it turns out that he sees nothing wrong with going ahead with a vote.
Mitt Romney: "I recognize that we may have a Court which has more of a conservative bent than it has had over the last few decades, but my liberal friends have over many decades gotten used to the idea of having a liberal court and that's not written in the stars." pic.twitter.com/0lXXcAGrjQ
