Trump will soon make public a list of prospective justices for the Supreme Court.
In order to calm fears that he would not select conservative justices for the Supreme Court, Donald Trump created history in 2016 when, as a presidential candidate, he released a preliminary list of 11 individuals he would use as a “guide” for prospective nominations. During his time as president, he added names to those lists, naming Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett as his three choices for the Supreme Court.
He was the first significant presidential contender to so blatantly convey his political philosophy on a contentious issue like tea leaves.
According to those close to the presumed GOP nominee, he intends to make a comparable list available in the upcoming weeks or months. Trump will be adamant, as he was eight years ago, stating that he would only select from the fresh slates of candidates in the event of a Supreme Court vacancy.
