Republicans block Schumer’s request to replace Feinstein on Judiciary Committee
Fox News
Senate Majority Leader Schumer told reporters earlier on Tuesday that he spoke with Feinstein last week and they both were 'hopeful' she'd be back soon
But Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., stood to oppose the move and rejecting Schumer's request. That objection means Democrats will need to find 60 votes to approve his request, which will require 10 Republicans to cross the aisle. Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital.
Graham echoed the objections of many Republicans by saying they can't support an effort to put another Democrat on the committee because it will mean Senate confirmation of liberal judges that Republicans oppose.
