(THE HILL) Sen. John McCain is quickly walking back his statement that Republicans would automatically oppose any potential Supreme Court nominee from Hillary Clinton.
Rachael Dean, a spokeswoman for the GOP senator, said that while McCain “believes you can only judge people by their record” and the Democratic presidential nominee “has a clear record of supporting liberal judicial nominees,” the Arizona senator would consider any Supreme Court pick sent to the chamber.
“Senator McCain will, of course, thoroughly examine the record of any Supreme Court nominee put before the Senate and vote for or against that individual based on their qualifications as he has done throughout his career,” she said.
