Sources within the Republican Party say Amy Coney Barrett is the slated candidate for the Supreme Court. At the same time, they object that the president, Donald Trump, can make a swift change and propose another candidate at the last minute.
Trump is expected to make his official announcement Saturday afternoon local time, writes CNN.
However, Judge Amy Coney Barrett, 48, will be the only candidate the president has known personally. Trump is also said to have known her for a long time. According to a source, they already met in connection with the last elections to the Supreme Court, in 2018.
This time, however, Amy Coney Barrett did not win. Instead, Brett Kavanaugh was nominated and appointed.
“Most qualified”
The White House declined to comment on the CNN reports.
However, a senior source in the administration says Amy Coney Barrett “has been the plan from the beginning.”
– She stands out more and is more qualified by traditional standards. She has the strongest support among conservative attorneys who have dedicated their lives to court. She will contribute more to the court’s jurisprudence for years and decades to come, the source told CNN.
