Conservative federal appeals court justices Raymond Kethledge and Brett Kavanaugh top President Donald Trump’s short list to replace Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, a source familiar with the process said on July 5.

Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on July 5 that he has narrowed his list of contenders to replace Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy to “three or two” names. The president said he would meet with Vice President Mike Pence over the weekend and then announce his choice at the White House at 9 p.m. on Monday, July 9.
