Who Trump has in mind to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Published September 22, 2020 11:28pm ET



Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away at the age of 87 after a battle with pancreatic cancer. While she leaves an accomplished legacy in which she advocated for gender equality and women’s rights, she also leaves a bitter court fight in the weeks and months ahead over who will replace her.

Responding to calls to hold off on announcing his nomination until after the election, President Trump said he and the Republican Party need to act swiftly. Speaking to Fox & Friends on Monday, Trump said, “The bottom line is we won the election, we have an obligation to do what’s right and act as quickly as possible.”
