Vice President Mike Pence told CBS in an interview on Monday that President Donald Trump is constitutionally obliged to name a nominee to fill the vacant Supreme Court seat following Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death.

Ginsburg died Friday from complications due to pancreatic cancer, leaving an empty seat on the nation’s highest court, for which Trump has vowed to propose a nominee, with Pence saying it is expected “before the week is out.”
