John James is running the most cowardly U.S. Senate campaign in America

After a campaign in which he has done nothing but duck questions and attempt to pin Donald Trump’s Covid-19 failures on his opponent, John James is finally standing out.

The Detroit Free Press
reports:

Among the competitive Senate races identified by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, every Republican Senate candidate, except James, has publicly indicated their position on whether to consider Trump’s Supreme Court nominee before the election.

Of course, James’ actual position isn’t hard to figure out here — as usual. He’s with Mitch McConnell, as he’d be on just about every issue in the U.S. Senate.

He has praised Amy Comey Barrett, Donald Trump’s pick to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg — against Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s dying wish. And by validating the process, he’s aiding the effort to ram in a new justice in time to make sure Republicans get the rulings they want when it comes to destroying the Affordable Care Act and potentially helping Trump cheat in the election Bush v. Gore-style. James’ objection completely ahistorical second attempt to steal a Supreme Court by Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell would make national news and cast serious doubt on this already shaky process.

Even Susan Collins has called for a delay in Barrett’s confirmation hearings until after the election. In contrast, James is, essentially, behind Trump “2000%.” As usual.
