Yes but if he loses I guarantee fellow GOPers wont vote to appoint his pick for the court because he's a lame duck. The Susan Collins of the world wont budge. They will claim the "ppl have spoken" Not enough time to vet and get a candidate through the confirmation process before the election. Esp a contentious confirmation it's goingto be. Think Kavanaugh x10. Trump could either pick someone and promise to confirm them after he wins, or he can wait and use the open seat as a campaign issue like in 2016. It may also rile up the Dem base over abortion. He needs to reach out to the religious community cause they are very interested in the court
Like I said, good luck. Once Nov comes along and theres still no new justice I'll remember all this talk about "warp speed" co formation due to the "Trump Train" my god it's like talking to children here.
This is also assuming ppl like Susan Collins win their re-election, so this could actually play out differently since they are up for re-election. Time to pander to their base in supporting Trumps pick.
