The US Supreme Court should know its new judge in the week to take over from Ruth Bader Ginsburg. “I’ll announce it on Friday or Saturday and the work will begin. But let’s hope it doesn’t take too much work ”Donald Trump announced in an interview with conservative Fox News.
He said he wanted to wait, before launching the process, for the end of the funeral ceremonies for Judge Ginsburg, a feminist and progressive icon, who died on Friday at the age of 87 from cancer.
Major challenges of the presidential campaign
Donald Trump, moreover, estimated that the Senate, with a Republican majority, had “Plenty of time” to confirm the appointment of a new judge before the presidential election on 3 November.
“The final vote [du Sénat] will have to be held before the election. We have plenty of time ”, he told Fox News. The succession of “RBG” within the temple of American law will be, in the coming weeks, one of the major challenges of the presidential campaign.
