President Donald Trump was booed on Thursday (24) by a group of protesters in front of the United States Supreme Court, where the wake of Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg takes place. The 87-year-old progressive died last week of complications from pancreatic cancer.
Before Trump left his vehicle to attend the tribute, the crowd booed him. There were shouts of “vote to get him out,” in reference to the November 3 presidential election, and “honor his wish,” in reference to Ginsburg’s last will, who wanted his successor to be nominated only after the election. However, Trump wants to appoint the progressive judge’s successor before then.
Trump arrived at the scene around 10 a.m. (11 a.m. in Brasilia), accompanied by First Lady Melania. They were silent for a minute and left quickly. A few minutes later, they were back at the White House.

Trump’s displacement is unusual, since he never participates in the tributes of personalities who are not in his political field.
The judge’s farewells began on Wednesday (23) and will last for three days. The body of the magistrate was placed at the base of the Court where the coffin of American President Abraham Lincoln was exposed in 1865.
The US president has already stated that he intends to nominate Ruth Ginsburg’s successor ahead of the fierce elections in November, drawing ire from Democrats.
“I think everything will go very well, it will be very fast,” Trump told Fox Radio.
“We have five women on the list, and I like them all,” added the president, who already anticipated that among the finalists is the conservative magistrate Barbara Lagoa, a Miami judge of Cuban origin.
Until Ginsburg’s death, the Conservatives had a majority of five to four votes in the court that decides on issues of American life, such as the right to bear arms, the right to abortion, but also deals with immigration issues and issues. access to health. With the new nomination, Republicans would guarantee a comfortable majority.
The announcement of the appointment of the successor in record time will trigger a political battle. Democrats, however, have no way to prevent the proceeding, which would anchor the conservative majority in court at 6 to 3, but they denounce an “abuse of power.”
