Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday that the Senate is a co-equal partner with the president in confirming nominees to the Supreme Court.

At an event sponsored by Punchbowl News, McConnell said Republicans opposing the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Joe Biden’s nominee to the Supreme Court, found her “attitude about sentencing with certain kinds of criminal cases” and her answers to questions about court-packing “troubling.”
