President Trump plans to announce his nominee for the Supreme Court tonight at the White House. As CBS News correspondent Jan Crawford reports, the president is deciding between two federal appeals court judges, Neil Gorsuch of Colorado and Thomas Hardiman of Pennsylvania.
Sources have confirmed Mr. Trump’s first Supreme Court pick will come down to a choice between two judges with very different backgrounds, but one thing both men have in common: they are considered solid conservatives.
Mr. Trump told reporters Monday that he’d made up his mind. But whoever he chooses better brace for a fight. After Senate Republicans refused to vote on President Obama’s nominee last year, Democrats have already promised to fight Mr. Trump’s nominee.
