Here’s how we tell you: Judge Barrett’s confirmation hearing ends; the vote remains for next week | Univision News Elections in the US 2020

The Senate Judiciary Committee celebrates this Thursday from 9:00 ET the fourth and last session of the judge’s hearing Amy Coney Barrett before the votes on his confirmation for the Supreme Court.

On this day, the senators do not ask the nominee, as in the previous two, but rather listen to the testimony of experts and other relevant people in this case.

It is also expected a heated political debate between Democrats and Republicans, absolutely divided over Barrett’s arrival to the Supreme Court.

There will be no vote today, as Democrats have asked to delay it until October 22. That day the Committee will vote and the next day the debate will begin in plenary, which will cast the final vote in the week of october 26, prior to the elections.

An assured confirmation

Thanks to the change they made in the rules, Republicans have the votes needed to push through Barrett’s confirmation, so It is assumed that she will be a Supreme Court judge before the November 3 elections, as was the goal of President Donald Trump when he nominated her.

Throughout this week of hearings, Democrats have expressed their refusal to vote for a new member of the Supreme Court, a lifetime and momentous position in the country’s politics, just weeks before a presidential election.
