Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is looking to dial down the drama as he plots his party’s strategy for the upcoming Supreme Court fight.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Wednesday that he pitched district court Judge J. Michelle Childs to the White House counsel's office this week and warned that voting to support another pick would be "much more problematic" for him.

“Mitch McConnell is not an un-honest actor when it comes to things like that” Sirota said. “So, if Biden has in his mind that that’s what’s gonna happen…it’s not gonna go well.”

Biden told reporters on Wednesday in Wilmington, Del., that he would get the vaccine publicly to bolster public confidence.
