Press Release
Issues: Judicial Branch
U.S. Senator Jon Tester released the following statement on the timeline for confirmation of a new Supreme Court nominee:
"Montanans begin voting in two weeks and, as Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and my Republican colleagues said just four years ago, the American people must have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. There isn't a separate set of rules for Republicans and Democrats--we should follow the precedent McConnell set and fill this vacancy when the next President and Senate are sworn in, regardless of who wins."
