President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump on Thursday paid respects to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died last week, setting up a contentious Senate fight to replace her.

The president and first lady arrived at the Supreme Court building in Washington as Ginsburg lied in repose. Trump has held off on announcing his Supreme Court pick until Saturday and also offered words of praise for Ginsburg, who is considered a liberal and feminist icon.
