Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden<\/a>\u00a0on Sunday called on the U.S. Senate to hold off voting on President Trump’s\u00a0Supreme Court<\/a>\u00a0nominee Amy Coney Barrett, claiming that the right thing to do would be to wait to fill the vacant seat on the court until after January’s inauguration.<\/p>\n

“The Senate has to stand strong for our democracy,” Biden said in remarks Sunday afternoon. He went on to say that senators should “take a step back from the brink,” and that “this is a time to de-escalate.”<\/p>\n

President Trump<\/a>\u00a0told “Fox & Friends” co-host Pete Hegseth that he thinks his nominee to the\u00a0Supreme Court<\/a>\u00a0could be confirmed ahead of the Nov. 3 election, saying there’s a “tremendous amount of time.”<\/p>\n

“I think we could have it done easily before the election,” he told Hegseth during an exclusive one-on-one interview following the nomination, which aired Sunday morning,\u00a0adding that they were “going to try and have it done quickly.”<\/p>\n

“I think she’ll be confirmed […] relatively long before the election,” Trump said.<\/p>\n

Biden’s criticism focused in large part on concerns that Barrett would vote to eliminate the Affordable Care Act, as the Supreme Court is readying to hear arguments in a case involving the law known as ObamaCare soon after November’s election.<\/p>\n

This has been a common theme of Democrats’ attacks on Barrett, who has criticized Chief Justice John Roberts’ decision upholding the law before she became a judge.<\/p>\n

This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
