In a letter to the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, Rao expressed regret over her past writings, saying she had been a sheltered college student who failed to recognize the impact of her words.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee also highlighted the appointment of Chad Readler to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit, branding him the"engineer behind the Trump Administration's plans to destroy the ACA " The organization said that Readler's"legal ineptitude coupled with the blatant hostility he has displayed toward a law that is intended to protect the well-being of individuals by ensuring they have access to quality, affordable health care should not be ignored, excused or forgotten. America’s families deserve better than Chad Readler."
