‘It Will Be a Woman,’ Trump Says of Supreme Court Pick

President Trump said he would nominate a woman next week to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg during a campaign rally in Fayetteville, N.C., where the crowd chanted “fill that seat.”

“I will be putting forth a nominee next week. It will be a woman. [cheers] It will be a woman. Both the White House and the Senate majority have a moral duty to fulfill the promises they made to the voters. And that is exactly what we’re going to do. We said that if, for any reason, we have a vacancy on the United States Supreme Court, we will fill that vacancy. We’re not going to say — and by the way, we have plenty of time. There’s a lot of time. You know, you’re talking about — you’re talking about Jan. 20, right?” [audience chanting] “Fill that seat!”
