U.S. Senator Mitt Romney says he would vote to confirm a Supreme Court justice this year — as long as he approves of the justice.
The announcement means Republicans may have 51 votes to confirm a nominee regardless of what happens in the November 3 presidential election. That's one more than they need, because Vice President Mike Pence can break a tie in favor of the yet-to-be-named nominee.
Joe Biden says he views "this campaign as a campaign between Scranton and Park Avenue."
It's comical on a variety of levels, the most stunning of which is that, while bashing Park Avenue on the campaign trail, Biden's been busy raising money from people who live and work there.
