The US Needs Immediate Covid Relief NOT Coney Barrett Hearings
With coronavirus cases rising in over 40 states, the United States Senate should immediately focus on providing real coronavirus relief and financial support to struggling families and businesses. As Senator Kamala Harris stated on October 13, 2020, "Senate Republicans have made it crystal clear that rushing a Supreme Court nomination is more important than helping and supporting the American people that are suffering from a deadly pandemic and the devastating economic crisis."
The Senate should postpone the confirmation hearings until after the elections and instead take up real Covid-19 relief.
Why is this important?
More than 215,000 Americans have died in 2020 from the coronavirus and 40,000 to 50,000 new cases are diagnosed each day in the United States. Millions of Americans are suffering and struggling to get by.
Dr. Anthony Fauci says that we currently face a "difficult situation" with rising positive cases as we head into Winter.
The Senate must prioritize coronavirus relief over filling a seat on the Supreme Court.
