The Republican president, who has already installed two selections from the higher courts since taking office in 2017, previously said he would reveal his last election on Saturday, a week after the 87-year-old judge died Sept. 18.
His decision to act swiftly in a replacement less than two months before the election has drawn sharp battle lines between Republicans and Democrats, and reshaped the race as Trump seeks re-election during a coronavirus pandemic that has killed more than 200,000 people in the United States and devastated the economy.
Ginsburg, appointed by Democratic President Bill Clinton in 1993, was an icon for liberals, especially as the court became increasingly conservative.

Before the 2016 election that made Trump president, Ginsburg publicly criticized him and called him “a phony” in an interview.
Trump responded by writing “Mind’s Shooting” from Ginsburg on Twitter. He later apologized and said he regretted the “reckless” comments.
Trump has come under fire in recent days for failing to fulfill Ginsburg’s wish at the end of his life, reportedly dictated in a statement to his granddaughter, that he be replaced by the next president.
