they will not announce until Jan 2 2020... that way trump will have to wait til after election to nominate someone... the biden rule, tho it will mean nothing... The Biden rule is nothing but an excuse. Nothing in the Constitution prevents a president from filling a Supreme Court seat in the last year of his term. McConnell blocked Garland because he could. No more and no less.

McConnell can still ignore the Biden rule and push it through, but then again its McConnell.

Agreed, and McConnell is already on record saying he would proceed with a nomination next year, saying the "Biden" rule only applies to a president's second term or some such.
