Moments after Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement yesterday, far-left activist groups came out swinging, penning a letter urging Senate Democrats, including Bill Nelson, to reject any of the 25 names on President Trump’s shortlist for the court.
The letter was signed by some of Senator Nelson’s most loyal supporters from Planned Parenthood, End Citizens United and Center for American Progress. So question is: will Bill Nelson stand with his constituents and confirm President Trump’s nominee to the court? Or will Nelson double down on his obstruction to appease the radical groups who’ve loyally supported him all these years?
“Voters are watching closely to see if Senator Nelson will continue ‘resisting’ to appease his liberal special interest friends or if he’ll finally do what’s right and confirm President Trump’s pick to the Supreme Court,” said NRSC Spokesperson Camille Gallo. “Voters saw how Senator Nelson fought tooth-and-nail to obstruct Neil Gorsuch’s nomination just last year, and they won’t be so forgiving if Nelson chooses to play the same silly games all over again.”
