Joe Biden has said the Supreme Court’s appointment is a “threat to democracy” – BBC News

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has called on Republican senators to nominate a new justice to the U.S. Supreme Court until elections in November. Donald Trump has appointed a religious conservative lawyer, Amy Coney Barrett, and asked for immediate confirmation, even though he has criticized the fact that if the outcome of the presidential election is discussed in any legal action then he can have a say. Biden said President Trump also hoped Coney Barrett would help dismantle President Obama’s health care legislation. He said Trump’s actions are a threat to democracy and called on Republican senators to “push back from the border.” Clive Myrie presents the BBC News at Ten presented by North American editor Jon Sopel in Washington.
