This weekend the news arrived that the liberal judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg had passed away after a period of illness: 87 years.
President Trump has said he wants to nominate a new judge without delay and has narrowed his list of potential candidates to five people, all women. He claims to really focus on “one or two” names, writes CNN.
Now Trump announces that he will likely reveal who he nominates at 11pm Swedish time Saturday night. At a press conference at the White House, the president said he was close to a decision, Reuters reports.
In the upper battle They are, according to the US media, attorneys Amy Coney Barrett and Barbara Lagoa.
According to sources with knowledge of the deliberations, the former has become a clear favorite, something that was reinforced during a prolonged meeting at the White House on Monday, writes CNN.
The White House is said to be trying to arrange a meeting between Trump and Florida Judge Lagoa while he is in the Miami area on Friday, but according to two sources, his chances have decreased significantly.
