GOP invests in boosting Trump with Barrett confirmation

Republican National Committee is putting Amy Coney Barrett's Supreme Court confirmation fight front and center with voters just weeks before Election Day.

confirmation battle will be featured in a new $10 million RNC digital ad campaign to encour battleground state voters to return vote-by-mail ballots or go to polls. national party, in concert with President Donald Trump's campaign, is planning local events and protests across country to support Barrett’s confirmation as well.

party is also incorporating Barrett’s mination into its scripts that staffers and volunteers use when calling or kcking on voters’ doors, with a focus on social conservative Catholic and evangelical voters — particularly in swing states like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Florida.

Filling vacancy created by death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been an unexpected political opportunity for Trump, who won White House in 2016 in large part because conservatives were animated around filling seat opened by death of Justice Antonin Scalia.

RNC on Saturday unveiled a website, ConfirmBarrett.com, to allow supporters to contact lawmakers to urge m to put Barrett on court. It also anticipates trying to fundraise off confirmation fight, including Democratic vice president minee Kamala Harris' position on Senate Judiciary committee.

“With a full-throttled effort from w until President Trump’s minee is confirmed, our teams will expose Democrats’ partisanship, aggressively promote qualifications of Judge Barrett, and use this issue to galvanize voters to polls in vember,” said RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel.
