Supreme Court Vacancy Looms Large In 2nd NC Senate Debate

The timing of a presidential pick for Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s successor hung heavy over the second debate in a U.S. Senate race in North Carolina. Republican incumbent Thom Tillis said in Tuesday's debate that he supports a swift process toward a new conservative on the Supreme Court. But Democratic challenger Cal Cunningham urged a delay until the next presidential term and accused Tillis of giving “a blank check to the president.” Tillis repeated several times that a Joe Biden presidency would bring “radical left” judges, eroding gun rights. Trump said he would announce his confirmation choice on Saturday.
