Sources: Trump intends to choose Amy Coney Barrett for Supreme Court
CNN ^

Posted on 09/25/2020 1:15:44 PM PDT by springwater13

President Donald Trump intends to choose Amy Coney Barrett to be the new Supreme Court justice, according to multiple senior Republican sources with knowledge of the process.

In conversations with some senior Republican allies on the Hill, the White House is indicating that Barrett is the intended nominee, multiple sources said. All sources cautioned that until it is announced by the President, there is always the possibility that Trump makes a last-minute change but the expectation is Barrett is the choice. He is scheduled to make the announcement on Saturday afternoon.

Barrett has been the leading choice throughout the week, since Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died. She is the only potential nominee known to have met with the President in person, according to two of the sources. One source said Trump was familiar with Barrett already and he met with her since she was a top contender the last time there was a Supreme Court vacancy, when the President chose Justice Brett Kavanaugh instead.

I don't agree with the selection, but I understand it. There are polls showing Trump performing weakly among white women who voted for him in 2016. They don't like his tweets or personality but like his policies. Barrett reminds these women that Trump can deliver on their priorities and to ignore the tweets.

This is a play to get these women on board the Trump Train. Ignore the tweets and focus on the policy. Barrett turns off the pro-choice former democrats that voted for Trump in 2016 though. They only care about the economy, immigration, and trade. He has a coalition. The campaign determined Barrett adds more conservative religious women than subtracts moderate ancestral democrats. I hope they are right.

Do you have any idea how EFFING STUPID American women would have to be for that to be true?

Trump could have leaked some Fake News just to embarrass the media.

Me too but if she was a serious contender, Trump would have met with her but he has denied the meeting. In the other 2 supreme court nominations, there were reports of Trump meeting with multiple candidates not this time.

It seems McConnell told him that there is a tight timeline and the Senate caucus knows Barrett and there isn’t enough time to vet an unknown candidate like Lagoa. The supreme court nomination was too important to risk on an unknown like Lagoa.
