Trump says GOP has ‘obligation’ to replace Ginsburg ‘without delay’ President Trump on Saturday urged Senate Republicans to confirm a new Supreme Court Justice, who he will nominate, to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died Friday night at 87. Trump told GOP lawmakers “we have this obligation, without delay.” Ginsburg’s death has already sparked a debate over the vacant seat. In 2016, Senate Republicans blocked then-President Barack Obama’s nominee, Merrick Garland, because it was an election year. So is 2020, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has argued it’s a different situation because the Senate majority and president are from the same party and, therefore, he is aiming to fast-track a nomination. Trump’s latest statement signals he is on the same page as McConnell. Democrats — and some Republicans — have said a confirmation hearing should wait until at least after the November election, if not January’s inauguration. Source: Donald Trump
