Even as occasional Republican critics of Donald Trump thanked the former president for appointing the Supreme Court justices that made overturning Roe v. Wade possible, another figured prominently: LeaderMcConnell.
Trump and McConnell are now bitter foes, disagreeing over the former president’s handling of the post-2020 election period and the Jan. 6, 2021, ransacking of the Capitol. But during Trump’s single term in office, he and McConnell worked hand-in-glove to reshape the federal judiciary and install a conservative majority on the Supreme Court.
“Thank you, President Trump, for keeping your word and putting good Justices on the Supreme Court,” tweeted Erick Erickson, a conservative talk radio host in Macon, Georgia, who has delivered Trump a tongue-lashing from time to time.However, McConnell, who was then the Senate majority leader, played a critical role in ensuring that Trump’s Supreme Court nominees survived what is often a brutal confirmation process.
“It just doesn’t happen without McConnell,” a Republican operative said of the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 Supreme Court ruling that mandated federal protections for abortion rights. “Lots of good work when into confirming those justices, but ultimately, if Merrick Garland is on the court, this is 5-4 the other way.”
