Sen. Cruz: We Should Not Vote on Any Nominee Until the Next President Is Sworn Into Office

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today issued the following statement in response to President Obama’s announcement of a nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court:

“I proudly stand with my Republican colleagues in our shared belief - our advice and consent - that we should not vote on any nominee until the next president is sworn into office,” Sen. Cruz said. “The People will decide. I commend Mitch McConnell and Chuck Grassley for holding the line and ensuring that We the People get to exercise our authority to decide the direction of the Supreme Court and the Bill of Rights.”
