Please try again later {{ /verifyErrors }} Ruth Bader Ginsburg gave a final statement shortly before her death from complications from metastatic pancreatic cancer on Friday, saying she did not want her successor appointed to the Supreme Court until a new president had been installed, according to reports. A potential nomination by President Trump and confirmation by the Republican-led Senate would mark the third justice nominated during his presidency to the Supreme Court after conservatives Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. Mr McConnell has said he would move to confirm a Trump nominee if there were a vacancy this year and President Trump is widely expected to push Ginsburg’s successor through the Republican-controlled Senate — and move that would push the already conservative court even further to the right with a 6-to-3 majority. Trump has repeatedly asserted that a nomination under a Joe Biden presidency would be “so extremely far left that they could never withstand public scrutiny or receive acceptance.” Appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1993, Ginsburg was the court's second female justice.
