Neil Gorsuch will be confirmed to the Supreme Court even if Democrats do not provide the eight votes needed to break a filibuster, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Wednesday in an interview that seemed to hint at a possible change to Senate rules to approve President Trump’s nominee over Democratic objections.

In an interview with the Washington Examiner, McConnell said he planned to file cloture on the Gorsuch nomination, setting in motion the formal procedure that Senate rules provide for breaking a filibuster.
