PA DEMS STATEMENT ON BARRETT SCOTUS CONFIRMATION

PENNSYLVANIA – Pennsylvania Democratic Party Chair Nancy Patton Mills released a statement on the confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court:

“Four the last four years, President Trump has been hell-bent on stripping away health care from 850,000 Pennsylvanians by repealing the Affordable Care Act without any replacement plan, and October 26th may go down in history as the day he succeeded. Tonight’s confirmation of Justice Barrett, just two weeks before the Supreme Court is set to hear Trump’s lawsuit seeking to strike down the ACA, is the closest he and his Republican allies in Washington have come to their dream of dismantling our health care system. 

For years, Pennsylvanians have been telling Trump that we want to protect and strengthen our health care, not tear it down — but he hasn’t listened. Next Tuesday, let’s send him a message he’ll never forget, and cast the votes to elect Joe Biden and send Trump packing from the White House.”
