Nearly two years ago, after Sens. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Kamala Harris, D-Calif., and Senate Democrats launched a character assassination of then-Judge Brett Kavanaugh, Hoosiers sent me to Washington to confirm judges that uphold the Constitution, as the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the U.

Now with the presidential election just over one week away and liberals threatening to pack the Supreme Court, it’s clearer than ever that we need to reelect Donald Trump and send my colleagues back to the U.S. Senate – especially Joni Ernst in Iowa, Martha McSally in Arizona, and Thom Tillis in North Carolina.
We need to do this so that liberals can’t undo our work by winning the White House and having a Democratically-controlled Senate pack the Supreme Court with liberal, activist judges.
