Abstract

The recent death of Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will set up a bruising battle in Washington over her replacement. With just two months to go before Americans casts their ballots on November 3rd, President Trump has insisted that he has the right to fill the vacancy, whereas Democrats argue that no new justice should be confirmed until after the upcoming election. In this Q&A, Thomas Gift examines the likelihood that Republicans proceed with the Supreme Court confirmation and how this political fight will affect Trump’s chances for re-election.
