President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he prefers a Supreme Court with nine justices ahead of the November election and added that Republicans have plenty of time to confirm a replacement for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

“I think this will end up in the Supreme Court,“ he said of the election results. ”And I think it’s very important that we have nine justices.“ Trump added that the process should ”go very quickly“ in the Senate, as Republicans ”are very united.”
