Trump to announce Court pick within two weeks of inauguration

President-elect Trump said he would reveal his pick for the Supreme Court within two weeks of Inauguration Day.

“I’ll be making the decision on who we will put up for justice of the United States Supreme Court probably within two weeks of the 20th,” Trump said during a news conference in New York City.

“I have a list of 20, I’ve gone through them. We’ve met with numerous candidates,” he said.

Trump suggested that he would focus on establishing new policies during his first two weeks before turning to the Court.

Trump’s pick would replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia, who died in February of 2016.
