Josh Hawley and Tom Cotton question how Neomi Rao will handle abortion cases.
By Seung Min Kim Seung Min Kim White House reporter Email Bio Follow February 26 at 10:29 PM Sen. Tom Cotton is privately raising questions about Neomi Rao, President Trump’s nominee for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and how she would potentially rule on cases involving abortion, according to people familiar with the matter. Though he hasn’t voiced them publicly, Cotton shares concerns outlined by Sen.
A significant source of irritation among Republicans upset with Hawley is how the senator injected questions about Rao’s personal views into a discussion about whether she should be confirmed. Hawley told Axios that he has heard from at least one person “who said Rao personally told them she was pro-choice,” although Hawley acknowledged in the interview that he was not sure whether that was true.
