The PBS NewsHour is providing special live coverage of the Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing of Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the United States Supreme Court.

On Thursday, Oct. 15, the Senate is scheduled to hear witness testimony, which will be livestreamed on this page, but will not be broadcast.
