2:17Now PlayingJudge Amy Coney Barrett met with Sen. Chuck Grassley Tuesday afternoon as part of a day of brief visits with pivotal Republican senators in preparation for her fast-track confirmation before the Nov. 3 election.
Neither Grassley nor Barrett took any questions, but the Republican senator from Iowa predicted that she would receive his vote after hearings of the Senate Judiciary Committee have been held.
"With her reputation, I would say that she's got a good chance of getting my vote for the United States Senate," Grassley said.
"I usually don't say that until everything's over. But Judge Barrett has quite a record to go on."
Democrats are confronting the limits of their power as they fight against the nomination and some have said they won’t meet with Barrett, who is expected to be confirmed for the seat held by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg by the end of October.
Hearings at the committee are set to begin Oct. 12.
No justice has ever been confirmed to the Supreme Court so close to a presidential election. According to a national poll by The New York Times and Siena College that was released Sunday, a clear majority - 56% of voters believes the winner of the Nov. 3 presidential election should fill Ginsburg’s seat, versus 41% who said Trump should as the current president.
