President Trump has yet to announce his nomination to the Supreme Court but anti-Trump Democrat Doug Jones has already said he won’t be voting for whoever it is.
Yesterday, Jones was asked if he would even meet with the nominee. He said “I don’t think my vote’s going to count, so I doubt they’ll even want to.” Jones faced criticism in 2019 from Donald Trump Jr. and Alabamians when he told a townhall that he would oppose any nominee Trump could potentially appoint to the Supreme Court.
“The President’s nominee hasn’t even been announced but anti-Trump Democrat Doug Jones has already made up his mind against the person,” said NRSC spokesperson Paige Lindgren. “Refusing to take part in a consequential Supreme Court confirmation process is the latest example that Jones has one foot out the door. He’s clearly no longer focused on representing the people of Alabama.”
