Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on Friday that he plans to fill two important vacancies in the circuit courts regardless of the election outcome.
McConnell made the comments during an interview on the Hugh Hewitt show, saying that the Republican-controlled Senate intends to fill the vacancies on the 7th Circuit left by Justice Amy Coney Barrett and the 1st Circuit left by the late Judge Juan R. Torruella, who died on Oct. 26.
