Following Monday’s hearing, Heritage Action hosted a #ConfirmAmy press conference with senators, conservative groups, and grassroots activists responding to the day’s hearings and showing continued support for her swift confirmation. Speakers included Senate Judiciary Committee members Ted Cruz, Marsha Blackburn, Mike Lee, and Josh Hawley, Heritage Action Executive Director Jessica Anderson, and leaders from nine other groups including Judicial Crisis Network, Concerned Women for America, Tea Party Patriots, and Susan B. Anthony List.
The press conference gave an opportunity for conservative voices to be heard and drew the media to cover the groundswell of conservative support for Judge Barrett. See examples in the Washington Examiner, New York Post, and Deseret News.
Afterward, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) joined Executive Director Jessica Anderson on our weekly Sentinel Strategy Call to recap the first day of hearings.
