WATCH: Sen. Kamala Harris questions Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett

Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., questioned Judge Amy Coney Barrett on the second day of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Supreme Court confirmation hearing. Harris laid out the stakes surrounding the survival of the Affordable Care Act, which provides insurance to millions of Americans, particularly in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. Harris asked Barrett if she would consider the 135 million people who gained protections under the law if it were to come before the court, and if so, how much she would weigh that fact. Barrett said she could not give any kind of pre-commitment to that question. The Oct. 13 hearing comes three weeks before Election Day. The second of four days of scheduled testimony gave senators an opportunity to ask Barrett about her record and approach to the law.
