Americans for Prosperity (AFP), a political advocacy group backed by billionaire Charles Koch, is campaigning to support President Donald Trump's nominee to the Supreme Court, the group said in a press release Saturday. "[AFP] today commended President Trump for nominating Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the United States Supreme Court," the group said in the release, adding that it "now commits the full weight of its permanent grassroots infrastructure to drive her confirmation to the high court.
Main Idea: Americans for Prosperity launched a major campaign to help push Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation to the Supreme Court.
Key Points:
A hard-fought confirmation battle could deepen political conflict and leave voters and communities more divided about the Supreme Court.
If Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed, the Supreme Court could shape future rulings on health care, workers’ rights, taxes, and other issues that affect households and businesses.
