Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Friday evening it would be “irresponsible and dangerous” to move forward with a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing for President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee on Oct. 12 after two Republican senators on the panel confirmed they have tested positive for the coronavirus. "We now have two members of the Senate Judiciary Committee who have tested positive for COVID, and there may be more," Schumer tweeted. It is irresponsible and dangerous to move forward with a hearing, and there is absolutely no good reason to do so." Thom Tillis, R-N.C. and Mike Lee, R-Utah, both confirmed Friday they had tested positive for the virus and will self-isolate for 10 days. President Trump also said he and first lady Melania Trump had tested positive early Friday.
