McConnell Urges GOP Senators to Be Cautious

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) wrote to Republican senators and urged caution in how they answer questions about voting on Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s replacement on the Supreme Court:

“This is not the time to prematurely lock yourselves into a position you may later regret… I urge you all to be cautious and keep your powder dry until we return to Washington.”
