The Michigan Democratic Party released the following statement on behalf of Chair Lavora Barnes on the SCOTUS confirmation hearings that began today:
“Today’s Supreme Court hearings make very clear that health care is at stake in this election. Trump and Republicans like John James have relentlessly attacked the Affordable Care Act and protections for people with pre-existing conditions, and are now trying to confirm another far-right jurist that would support their efforts to gut the law in the middle of a pandemic. Michiganders deserve leaders who will fight for access to affordable health care, and that’s why we will vote early, by mail, and on November 3 for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Gary Peters, and Democrats up and down the ticket.”
