WASHINGTON ― Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced Thursday that he will vote against President Donald Trump ’s pick for the Supreme Court , adding that Democrats will also demand that Neil Gorsuch get at least 60 votes to be confirmed. Judge Gorsuch's nomination will face a cloture vote & as I’ve said, he will have to earn sixty votes for confirmation. My vote will be “No.”Some Senate Democrats have been quietly looking for ways to cut a deal with Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) related to Gorsuch. On Thursday, Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) told reporters that he plans to vote against Gorsuch, too. ), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) are among the Democrats who previously said they would oppose Gorsuch.
