Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett confirmation hearings: A recap of day 2

The confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett continued on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., Tuesday, as Barrett faced more than 10 hours of questioning from the Senate Judiciary Committee. Barrett was largely evasive in her answers about specific cases and issues that may come before the high court, dodging questions about Roe v. Wade, the Affordable Care Act and the upcoming election. Democrats, knowing that Barrett is almost certain to be confirmed, used the televised hearings to make the case against President Trump's reelection — over and over again.

See below for a complete recap of day two.
