Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA), the Democratic vice presidential nominee and Judiciary Committee member, delivers her opening statement remotely on the first day of the confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett. She says holding the hearing is "reckless" due to COVID-19 concerns in the Senate. She also criticizes the decision to hold "this illegitimate committee process" while voting in the presidential election is already underway. Like her Democratic colleagues, she tied Judge Amy Coney Barrett's nomination to the potential overturning of the Affordable Care Act. close
