A top Republican senator with close ties to President Donald Trump said Thursday he believed Democrat Joe Biden had a "good chance" of winning the presidency in the November 3 election. "You all have a good chance of winning the White House," Lindsey Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told Democratic colleagues at the opening of a hearing on Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett. "Thank you for acknowledging that," responded Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar, to which Graham added: "Yeah, I think it's true." Graham's comments though did not change expectations that conservative Barrett would gain easy confirmation to the high court in the Republican-controlled Senate. Democrats sought to postpone filling the seat left vacant by the death last month of liberal icon Ruth Bader Ginsburg, arguing the winner of the election should fill it. chp/pmh/st
