Biden says U.S. should vote before Ginsburg is replaced, but Trump is set to name candidate
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has said that Americans must vote in November's election before Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Supreme Court seat is filled, although President Donald Trump will reportedly put forward a nominee in the coming days.
"There is no doubt, let me be clear that the voters should pick the president and the president should pick the justice for the Senate to consider," Biden said."This was the position of the Republican Senate... in 2016 when there were almost 10 months to go before the election," he said, referring to the Republicans' refusal to vote on Merrick Garland's nomination to the Supreme Court after the death of Antonin Scalia.
"So they should do this with full consideration. And that is my hope and expectation what will happen," Biden added. The list of nominees is short and includes at least one woman, with U.S. Circuit Judge Amy Coney Barrett in the frame as a leading contender, two sources told ABC.
