Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D., N.H.) broke away from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y) and other Democrats on Tuesday when she called for an up-or-down vote on President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Judge Neil Gorsuch.
"To suggest that we should not get a fair hearing on the nominee to the Supreme Court, Mr. Judge Gorsuch, I think is just not something that's going to be good for the American people," Shaheen said on the Senate floor.
Shaheen then called out Senate Republicans for not holding an up-or-down vote for former President Obama's Supreme Court nominee, Judge Merrick Garland, last year.
